Artifact Summary:

Summarize in your own words. Highlight the key pieces, including features and benefits.

1. A video of an autonomous mobile robot with a UV-C air purifier made in japan by a robot started. It was posted on January 29th, 2021. It utilizes cameras and identifiers to move out of the pathways of people. It has a screen face to be more humanly favorable. It also can display warnings.

2. A robot that is promoting research and development in a project as an infectious disease control device development. It uses a UV-C light that inactivates viruses in the air. It only works on aerosols and droplets. They can add an autonomous feature to make it roam around the room and have a bigger effect. It can sense the people in the room and move to them so it can get a better effect on the people there.

3. A robotics academy that has been trying to improve our robotics community and create more robots so it can help the world. The academy is based in Japan, actively improving businesses. They also do outreach to their community similar to us and the robotics team. They even participate in competitions as well. This is the academy that worked on and contributed to the air-purifying robot.

4. This website, called Fortune Business Insights, talks about the market for robotic air purifiers, explaining that they are “an autonomous or a mobile robot equipped with air filtration technologies such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) … provides … enhanced customer experience and improved operational efficiency.”. The market for such machines is driven by the rising awareness regarding air quality awareness globally. It also states that one of its main restraints is that a robotic air purifier is hard to install. There are two key industry developments, the first being in 2018 with huge investment into the program, and the second being in 2019 with the announcement by Ecovacs about their ATMOBOT.

5. A paper on the procedure of a lab that is over the clean air delivery for different ways of purifying the air. It explains air purifiers to a degree and their need in low-air quality areas. It also explains how it helps with the emission of O₃ gas. They also utilized aerosol particle counting techniques to measure the clean air delivery rate. Indoor air quality and ozone chemistry is also a factor we may use as well.

Artifact Critique:

How does the artifact provide validity, conflict, or the need for further research? What unique aspect does the artifact add to your overall research?

1. We can make one that is cheaper and easier to get around so it’s not a hassle and you don’t have to spend that much money.

2. It cures the viruses and contaminants in the air and moves around on the ground to cover a bigger space and area. It can also see where people in the room are gathering and go over there so the air can be cleaned.

3. They create multiple different robots and evolve them so they can be used in everyday life or just to have fun. They discover new tech that can help them when they have a robotic issue they need help with.

4. It can purify airborne pollutants and is easy to move around.

5. It can see how much aerosol particles are in the air to see how much it has to clean so the air can be the optimal cleanness.
