A Robotic Solution to the CO2 Induced Thinking Epidemic

Abstract

Today’s homes and buildings are built with energy efficiency in mind, putting at risk proper ventilation and circulation of air in the inner environment. This can cause multiple health-based problems, but the aim of this paper is to highlight, discuss and propose a solution to the suppression of cognitive function i.e., a ‘thinking pandemic’ and ‘Sick Building Syndrome’ currently caused by high levels of CO₂ concentration in indoor spaces. Project Karbonite is an innovative robotic design that seeks to address two critical aspects: reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentration in indoor environments and enhancing mental capacity and cognitive functioning. By utilizing eco-friendly and cost-effective robotics, the project aims to create a sustainable solution for homes and offices worldwide. By effectively lowering CO₂ parts per million (ppm) levels, Project Karbonite strives to provide an environment that supports optimal cognitive performance, contributing to increased productivity and well-being using carbon sequestration methods applied in industries today.
