Design and implementation of smart floor cleaning robot using android app

Abstract

The advancements made in technology of robotics have made life of mankind very much easier and comfortable. This paper describes a smart floor cleaning robot that allows cleaning the floor by giving instructions to the robot. This robot makes floor cleaning process easy and fast utilizing a wireless robotic cleaning system. This wireless system consists of a transmitter application that runs on an android mobile app which allows the robot to follow commands given by the user through the transmitter app. The proposed robot consists of Arduino UNO controller which has fourteen digital input/output pins, robotic arm with cleaning pad with a water sprayer for efficient cleaning. The Arduino UNO, on receiving the commands from android device through Bluetooth receiver, decodes the given commands and controls the motors to achieve the desired path and direction.
