I.INTRODUCTION
Even though there is considerable work done in this application of robotics, none of it concerns with the cleaning of both dry and wet floors by respective detection. The conventional vacuum cleaner consists of large mechanical and electrical parts which are more costly and consume more power whereas the autonomous cleaner robots consists of low power consumer electronics and mechanical parts and it can operate during power outage period and does not need any human guidance.
Robotic cleaners are basically distinguished on their cleaning expertise like floor mapping, dry vacuum cleaning etc. The motto of this project is to evaluate cost efficient, light weight, less noisy and low maintenance robotic system.
Simultaneously having the facility of automatic avoidance of any obstacles and capable of finding its way around. way. Robot can clean along edges and into other hard-to-reach places. They are guided by certain algorithms for path planning and navigation, accordingly robot cleans the surface. Sensors present in it are used for obstacle detection. The robot’s bumper prevents it from bumping into walls and furniture by reversing or changing path accordingly.
