Design and Implementation Low Cost Smart Cleaner Mobile Robot in Complex Environment

Abstract

The mobile robot is widely used in many cleaning applications. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost smart cleaner wheeled mobile robot for floor cleaning applications. The robot is capable of accurately navigating through various environments and avoiding obstacles. The paper focuses on three main points: interfacing the motion modeling equations with an Android application, designing a differential mobile robot with flexible mobility, and incorporating obstacle avoidance using an Ultrasonic sensor. The results demonstrate that the robot can move with high precision and flexibility, with minimal error. The maximum error on the complex (carpet) floor equals (±1.1500 cm) and it is greater than the maximum error on the flat floor which equals (±0.5800 cm). Additionally, the robot’s affordability, priced at 28 $. The designed mobile robot is low cost, for this reason it accessible to anyone seeking a cleaning solution for both flat and rough (complex) floors, whether dry or wet. From these specifications of designed mobile robot, it considered better than related works.
