"노봇(Row-bot)"을 만나보세요. 오염물질을 없애고 폐수를 삼켜서 스스로에게 필요한 전력을 만들어내는 로봇입니다. 로봇공학자 조나단 로시터는 녹조류와 기름띠를 중화시키는 미생물 전지로 물위를 떠다니는 특별한 로봇을 소개하고, 이 로봇이 스스로 오염물질을 없애는 자연 분해 로봇의 선구자가 될지를 설명합니다.

오염물질을 먹어치우는 로봇

Taking inspiration from nature, engineers are building robots that act more like living organisms than machines. One striking example is the Row-bot, which feeds on polluted water using a microbial fuel cell, generating its own electricity as it neutralizes algae and oil spills. These robots can be made from biodegradable materials like jelly and paper, allowing them to disappear safely after use. This shift could enable millions of autonomous, eco-friendly robots to tackle environmental challenges without leaving harmful waste behind.
