A Robot Platform for Highly Efficient Pollutant Purification

Blog Article

In this study, we propose a highly efficient robot platform for pollutant adsorption.This robot system consists of a flapping-wing micro Socks aircraft (FWMA) for long-distance transportation and delivery and cost-effective multifunctional Janus microrobots for pollutant purification.The flapping-wing micro air vehicle can hover for 11.3 km with a flapping frequency of approximately 15 Hz, fly forward up to 31.

6 km/h, and drop microrobots to a targeted destination.The Janus microrobot, which is composed of a silica microsphere, nickel layer, and hydrophobic layer, is used to absorb the oil and process organic pollutants.These Janus microrobots can be propelled RCA/AV Cables fast up to 9.6 body lengths per second, and on-demand speed regulation and remote navigation are manageable.

These Janus microrobots can continuously carry oil droplets in aqueous environments under the control of a uniform rotating magnetic field.Because of the fluid dynamics induced by the Janus microrobots, a highly efficient removal of Rhodamine B is accomplished.This smart robot system may open a door for pollutant purification.
