DUSTBUSTER: AN AUTONOMOUS VACUUM CLEANING ROBOT

Abstract

This paper proposes the development of an autonomous robot which is controlled by sensors and an Android Phone (optional). The implementation of AI concepts in the development of a software application for off-line robot task programming. We can use concept of the designed programming application to power the knowledge base for task accumulation. This work aims at the cleaning a house on its own, without human interference. In the current scenario, the economical versions of iRobot Roomba (currently in the market) cannot develop a map of its own; however, this feature is present in the luxurious versions. As the luxurious versions aren’t affordable, our Dustbuster will prove to be an efficient and economic stopgap solution.
