Turkish journal of engineering, 2022

Robot vacuum cleaners are among the first service robots to enter daily life. However, robot vacuum cleaners are currently inaccessible to many due to their high cost. In order for these robots to become widespread, they must be cheap and functional. In this study, the design and production of a low-cost, high-performance vacuum cleaner robot that can be controlled by smartphones is presented. This autonomous robot moves around the obstacles, vacuums the dust from the floor, performs basic navigation and also it is manually controllable. Designing of a vacuum cleaner robot is divided into three parts which are the mechanical, electrical and software design. In the mechanical design; the robot chassis and cleaning system have been designed and realized. In the electrical design; the electrical components such as batteries, motors, drivers, sensors and microcontroller have been selected and the power system has been designed by considering electrical requirements. In the software design; an easy to use Android application for remote control has been created, autonomous algorithms such as random walk and snake algorithms have been designed. Remote controlling of the robot has been provided by using Bluetooth connection between the Raspberry Pi and Android smartphone.

Earlier were the days, where a maid would be appointed for cleaning the house and also people felt that there wasn’t much need for them to worry about the household cleanliness. Later people decided to move on to the technology where, newly arrived manual vacuum cleaners played a major role in the part of their lives. Though it was easier to remove dirt from the house, it was also an energy draining action done by humans and they were noisy. Later, automation slowly started increasing and humans wanted to take rest all the way while everything is being automated in their lives such as machines playing major roles. One such of the greatest inventions was the automatic robotic vacuum cleaner. The work de-scribes the thoughts, ideas and the designs that came up with the result in a more convenient vacuum cleaner that is automated and most helpful to the current situa-tion in today’s lives and also describes the development of a disc-shaped robot using Arduino micro- controller and a vacuum system using axial fan. The micro controller is programmed to move along a user-defined path. The robot is embed-ded with motor shield as well as a voltage regulator. The power supply to the ro-bot is via a 12V rechargeable Li- polymer battery which is recharged using AC-DC adapter. When fully charged, the robot can run for 20-30 minutes. A single switch can be used to turned on or off the robot. The simulation for the robot is done using Coppelia Robotics software and vacuum analysis using ANSYS flu-ent v16.0. For vacuum, based on the standard specifications, the axial fan is mod-elled and a computational analysis is carried out to observe the physics of fluid flow. Finally, the results were obtained for turbulent flow conditions. The main aim of the work is to suggest a best and optimal design for a robotic vacuum cleaner. Further, the developed robot is affordable and suitable for Indian markets which cut down the labor work for cleaning the floor. The developed system can be used for household purposes and also plays a vital role in various industries.

Design of prototype robot vacuum cleaner based on Arduino Uno aims to produce a prototype robot that has the ability as a tool to clean house floor vacuum cleaners quickly and efficiently. Robot Vacuum Cleaner is designed as a vacuum cleaner and dirt on the floor of a room, which is operated using dual mode that is automatically and manually. Automatic mode on the robot vacuum cleaner will cause the robot to move randomly on the floor of a room and automatically avoid obstacles that are in front of the robot. Whereas in manual mode the robot vacuum cleaner moves following commands that are controlled by the user via an Android-based smartphone using the Bluetooth HC-05 communication module. Sharp GP sensor mounted on the robot functioned as a sensor to avoid obstacles when cleaning the floor of the house. The program flow begins by connecting the Android Smartphone to the Bluetooth HC-05 module, then Arduino will read the input data of the mode selected by the user, which is automatic or manual mode. If automatic mode is selected, Arduino will initialize the Sharp GP proximity sensor to detect the distance of objects in front of the robot and activate the vacuum motor. If the distance of the object in front of the robot more than 8 cm the robot will stop and turn directions to avoid the object. If the user chooses manual mode, the robot will wait for the user's command to maneuver and activate the controlled vacuum motor using the application on the user's smartphone. The prototype robot vacuum cleaner, which operates in dual mode, was designed using Arduino Uno as the control center, has a SharpGP proximity sensor input, Bluetooth HC-05 module and an output in the form of a DC Motor Driver IC L298N to regulate the robot's movements and IRF520 MOSFET IC to regulate the speed of the Vacuum motor. The proximity sensor in the robot vacuum cleaner design has a detection range of 4 cm to 25 cm. This robot vacuum cleaner design can run automatically and can avoid the obstacle which is ≤ 6.5 cm in front of the robot. The results of distance sensor testing (Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F) on the left side have an average error value of 0.385 cm and the proximity sensor (Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F) on the right side has an average error value of 0.321 cm. Tests are also carried out to ensure the ability of robot movement through the floor with a slope of 15 o , 20 o and 25 o. From the test results, the robot is not able to move at slopes greater than 25 o .

Tiring and repetitive household chores such as cleaning the floor can be done by robot. However, existing vacuum cleaner robots in the market are as expensive as RM1500. Thus, this project proposed a low-cost automatic vacuum cleaner robot which consists of Object Avoidance Robot and Vacuum Cleaner. The Object Avoidance Robot receive feedback signals from ultrasonic sensor and Infrared (IR) sensors to actuate 5V DC motors. The power source for the robot and the Vacuum Cleaner are two 3.7V Li-ion rechargeable battery and 12V alkaline battery respectively. The Vacuum Cleaner employed a 12V brushless DC Fan to create a vacuum chamber which absorbs dust, sand and small paper pieces. The cost of this project is RM130.70.

Cleaning the floor from dust is one of the routine activities carried out every day. This activity is not only at home but also in offices or shopping centers. Sometimes due to dust cleaning activities take a long time then there are other activities that are overlooked. For this reason, we are trying to develop a smart floor cleaning robot that can navigate, clean dust, and polish floors automatically. The study was conducted using Pressman's research and development methods which included the following phases: analysis, design, implementation and testing. The robot, developed using an omniwheel wheel and is equipped with a vacuum cleaner and floor polishing motor. The control system used is based on the Arduino microcontroller, the robot is also equipped with a Bluetooth communication system so that it can be controlled via an Android smartphone. The developed robot is able to move according to navigation controls via an android smartphone. Besides this robot is also able to move to avoid obstacles if the distance between the robot and the barrier is less than 15 cm. Floor cleaning performance on various types of dirt is quite good with only leaving dirt on the floor less than 20%.
