Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Project Title

Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Technology has advanced a lot to provide ease and comfort for the humans to perform their daily tasks. Robovac will assist people who are too busy to clean the house daily or weekly. Robovac on just push of a button will make the cleaning process easy and without any human interaction. Products already available in the market are very expensive. This projects aims to design a cheap and convenient product that can clean a room on its own, saving a person valuable time. The robot will be programmed to sense the direction of a collision with an obstacle using onboard infra-red sensors. If the robotic vacuum hits an object head-on, it backs up and changes direction. If an obstacle is hit at an off-angle, the robotic vacuum turns away from the direction of the impact. The robotic vacuum’s movement is based upon a random walk around a room, which will cover the entire area of a room given enough time. The robot is programmed to drive straight until an obstacle is hit. At that point, it will turn and continue driving straight until another obstacle is hit, and so on.

Project Objectives

The aim of this project is to design an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner that can make cleaning process easier rather than manual vacuum cleaner. The idea here is to detect the object using sensors and send the output to the microcontroller that will control the movement of the robot vacuum cleaner. By using robovac, user can just turn on the device to clean without any human interaction to operate the vacuum cleaner.
