E-Sammarjana: An Intelligent Robo-Cleaner Using IOT and AI Technology

Abstract

Abstract: Today’s households are getting smarter and more digital. Home automation adds flexibility and allows more time for people. Domestic robots are entering the homes and people’s daily lives, but it is yet a relatively new and immature market. However, a growth is predicted, and the adoption of domestic robots is evolving. Our work is an Automatic Robo-Cleaner that will be helpful to make household work convenient and much easier. This operates in autonomous along with additional features such as dirt container with auto-dirt disposal mechanism. They are seen as more convenient to use because they can clean on their own. To develop a system of such type requires the basic knowledge of mechanical design, power requirements and adding intelligence to the machine and connecting it to the internet. The research done is a Robo-cleaner that works in fourfold namely the mechanical part (curved rectangular shape, driving wheels, DC motor), electrical (rechargeable DC battery, Driver IC), Internet of things part (controlling whole device using android app) and intelligence part (Voice-controlled and sensors are trained to avoid obstacles). Here, artificial intelligence is adopted to enable intelligent scheduling and motion control for optimized operation of the Robo-Cleaner. The main novelty of this paper is its ability to identify any flames present near the robot and to clean staircases and also detect humans and other entities with the purpose of avoiding causing any harm to them. Through the android app, which will have certain modes, the user will be able to take control of the robot manually whenever he wants, and he will be able to make the robot move autonomously again whenever he wants.
