# Miniature Air Purifier Robots Sang il Shin Designs the Small PLANI Robot Concept By Amy Duong | Published 2023-05-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plani References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/05/18/this-cute-air-purifier-robot-concept-tries-to-make-your-home-safer-and-livelier/) & [bit.ly](https://bit.ly/3UPQoc2)  Sang il Shin designs the PLANI, which is a robot concept that is designed to help [purify the air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-50) with the help of smart technologies that currently exist in the market. It has a plethora of sensors including LIDAR that helps move the air that needs cleaning while also avoiding obstacles including [pets and humans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-purifier) or other home items. When it starts to work, it lifts up the side flaps to unveil the air intake processes. Visually, it looks like an [adorable robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namuhx-a1) without a face but in place, has a sheet of clear material that is meant to reflect the same look as the windows on an airplane. Unlike those windows, it is able to change colors.
