# Flying Sanitation Bots The ‘Mab’ Automated Cleaning System Cleans for You By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-06-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-cleaning References: [electroluxdesignlab](http://electroluxdesignlab.com/en/submission/mab/) The ‘Mab’ [automated cleaning system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onero-h1) uses hundreds of [small robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scop) so that you never have to clean again. Designer Adrian Perez Zapata created the system in order to free the human race from the tedious task of cleaning. Micro-robots work to meticulously clean every surface of your house while you sit back and relax. The device works by loading robots with drops of water mixed with soap. Upon scanning the room, Mab will release its hoard of dust-exterminating robots to clean. As the robots touch surfaces, the [cleaning fluid picks up dirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s10-ultra-robot-vacuum). The fluid is then cycled through the mini robot for reuse. Mab is either powered through wireless energy or solar. The wings of each robot has solar panels to collect energy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Automated Cleaning Systems:** The 'Mab' automated cleaning system presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the cleaning industry by eliminating the need for human labor. - **Micro-robot Technology:** The use of hundreds of small micro-robots in the 'Mab' system opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the robotics industry, particularly in the field of household cleaning. - **Wireless Energy and Solar Power:** The integration of wireless energy and solar power in the 'Mab' system offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry, providing sustainable power sources for automated cleaning devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cleaning Industry:** The 'Mab' automated cleaning system has potential in disrupting the cleaning industry by revolutionizing the way households clean, reducing the need for manual labor. - **Robotics Industry:** The use of micro-robots in the 'Mab' system can disrupt the robotics industry by introducing a new application in household cleaning, showcasing the potential for automation and efficiency in this sector. - **Renewable Energy Industry:** The integration of wireless energy and solar power in the 'Mab' system presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry, enabling sustainable and eco-friendly power sources for various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mini Desktop Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mopy.md) - [Mop-Changing Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mova-mobius-60.md) - [All-in-One Self-Cleaning Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obode-p8.md) - [Compact Self-Cleaning Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-robotic-vacuum.md) - [Automated Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamebot-x30-ultra.md) - [Automated Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-j9.md) - [Adaptive Automated Cleaning Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-cleaning-device.md) - [Robotic Self-Cleaning Floor Washers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-s1-pro.md) - [Auto-Adjustment Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecovacs-deebot-t20-omni.md)
