Automated dust cleaning robotic rover
Busitema University
The increasing demand for convenient and efficient household maintenance solutions
necessitates automated cleaning devices This project presents the development and design of
an automated dust cleaning robot, enhanced with a mobile application for remote control. The
robot utilizes an ultrasonic sensor for intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance within its
environment. A dedicated dust sensor identifies areas requiring cleaning by detecting dust
concentration levels. Upon detecting dust, a suction pump is activated to efficiently collect
and store debris. Furthermore, a companion mobile application allows users to remotely
control the robot's movement, initiate cleaning cycles, and monitor its status. This integrated
system enables both autonomous and user-directed cleaning operations. The combination of
ultrasonic and dust sensing for automated cleaning, the suction mechanism for debris
collection, and the mobile app for remote interaction provides a versatile and user-friendly
solution for automated floor maintenance. This design offers a hands-free approach with
added control and monitoring capabilities, improving convenience and efficiency in
maintaining clean floor surfaces across various environments.
