會飛還會掃! 第一臺無人機空氣淨化器誕生!

At CES in Las Vegas lately, Ataraina presented what it says is the "world's first flying air cleaner," using a drone-based system to remove dust, pollen, and other harmful particles from inside your house.

近日，在拉斯維加斯舉行的消費類電子產品展覽會上，Ataraina公司展示了據說是"世界上第一臺會飛的空氣淨化器"。該淨化器通過無人機系統來去除灰塵、花粉和房子裏的其他有害顆粒物。

The air-cleaning drone generates airflow as it flies, collecting particles that a vacuum would miss, the creators explain.

研發者解釋說，這種空氣淨化無人機在飛行時會產生一股氣流，能捕獲吸塵器會漏掉的顆粒物。

The fabric that goes around the drone has minus ions, which attracts pollutants and particles flying in the air.

無人機四周的一圈布料帶有負離子，能吸附空氣中漂浮的污染物和顆粒物。

So when the drone takes off for flying, it actually collects particles in the air.

因此當無人機起飛的時候，它就開始吸附空氣中的這些顆粒物了。

They say this could also be useful outside of the home, to clean the air in school, hospitals, or other larger settings.

研發者稱，無人機淨化器在家以外也有效果，能淨化學校、醫院或是其他更大場所裏的空氣。

And, it could be a dream-come-true for people who suffer from allergies – it also removes pollen from the air.

而且，無人機還能去除空氣中的花粉，對於那些花粉過敏的人羣，這將是美夢成真的好消息。

The technology, however, requires an operator that's skilled at controlling the drone.

不過，享受這項科技成果需要一位熟練掌握無人機操控技能的操作者。

When asked if it was capable of avoiding crashes with household objects or even people, the exhibitors explained that the responsibility is in the hands of the owner.

當被問及無人機能否躲開傢俱或人以免發生碰撞時，參展商表示，這就要看操作者的技術了。
