MITO’s self-driving air purifier targets bad air

MITO’s self-driving air purifier targets bad air

MITO is a new kind of air purifier that moves around your home to clean the air where it's needed most.

It has two parts: small sensors that check the air quality in different rooms and a main unit that rolls around on wheels.

The sensors measure things like carbon dioxide, tiny particles, and harmful chemicals.

If the air is bad, the main unit drives to that room and cleans it.

It can even tell you to open a window if fresh air is needed.

The design is inspired by 1960s Japanese ideas and looks more like home decor than typical office-like purifiers.

It learns over time which rooms need cleaning and focuses on the worst areas first.

However, it still needs your help for some things, like opening windows when carbon dioxide levels are high.
