# Robotic Water Purifiers The Airborne Robotic Oil Spill Recovery System Can Clean Up the Gulf By manzil | Published 2010-07-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airborne-robotic-oil-spill-recovery-system References: [ecofriend.org](http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/oil-eating-aeros-robots-could-clean-oil-spills-in-days/) & [globalresponsegroup](http://www.globalresponsegroup.com/solutions/aeros_system.php) Global Response Group has designed a special high-tech system to deal with future disasters like that in the Gulf; the design will clean oil spills within days. The Airborne Robotic Oil Spill Recovery System, or AEROS, uses [GPS-controlled robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-hawk) that are dropped from a plane near the spill site to [purify the water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-dispenser). Each bot can clean up to 3,000 gallons of water a minute. The oil collected in the process is collected in bladders and it is recycled for future use later. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Robotic Water Purification:** The use of GPS-controlled robots for water purification presents opportunities for efficient and quick cleaning of oil spills. - **AEROS Technology:** The Airborne Robotic Oil Spill Recovery System (AEROS) introduces a disruptive innovation in oil spill clean-up methods. - **Water Recycling:** The recycling of collected oil for future use is a sustainability-focused trend in water purification systems. ### Where This Applies - **Environmental Cleanup:** The AEROS system can revolutionize the environmental cleanup industry by offering a more efficient and effective solution for oil spill recovery. - **Water Treatment:** Robotic water purifiers like AEROS have the potential to disrupt the water treatment industry by providing faster and more precise methods of water purification. - **Renewable Energy:** The use of recycled oil for future use aligns with the trends in the renewable energy industry, as it promotes sustainability and reduces waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Roving Air Purifier Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbot-z1.md) - [Water-Recycling Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s10-ultra-robot-vacuum.md) - [Precision Robotic Pool Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wybot-osprey-700.md) - [Oyster-Harvesting Water Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-robot.md) - [Sonar Technology Pool Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pool-cleaner-robot.md) - [AI-Powered Pool Cleaning Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-robotic-pool-cleaner.md) - [Sea Urchin-Sucking Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-robot.md) - [Ambient Moisture Capture Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3i-s10-ultra-robot-vacuum.md) - [Solar Panel Cleaning Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-cleaning-system.md)
