Self-Power Generating Indoor Air Purifier Robot

Abstract

The increase in air pollution has led to an enhancement in need & usage of air purifier. In the past two years, especially in the months of October and November, the usage of indoor air purifier has increased drastically in National capital region of India when particulate matter has crossed the acceptable limits. The raise in indoor air pollution had led to severe concerns to elderly people, infants and asthmatic patients even if they stay back at home. Commonly static room air purifiers are used, but a movable air purifier which can sense the location of higher concentration of air pollution and move the system accordingly can improve the overall efficiency of the air purifier. This type of air purifier needs electricity to run. This paper proposes a self-power generating air purifier robot, which is capable of electricity generation, sensing air quality and air purifying by moving it to desired location. Hence this robot can be utilized both by urban and rural area people. The robot has four components namely, renewable energy generation module, air filter module, sensory module to sense the presence of PM 25 particle to determine how much air purification is required and finally data analytics module which will help in identifying the location where air purification is to be done.
