Robot Room Cleaner Algorithm

The way a robot vacuum travels around the room as it cleans really matters.

Robot room cleaner algorithm.

Turn left turn right rotate the looking direction and move move ahead 1 point the goal of the algorithm is to make the robot travel around room with any point in the room visited at least one. The main purpose of developing a dtmf controlled room cleaner robot is to implement an automatic cleaning system which can be operated from any distance by using the cell phone. The robot only provides 3 api. Using slam and bumpers it maps the current room perimeter first then applies some algorithm for cleaning as efficiently as possible.

The algorithm knows nothing about the surrounding environment. The proposed ga model is inspired by john holland 15. The first thing roomba does when you press clean is calculate the room size. Therefore this paper focuses on ppcr of vacuum cleaner robot in the room environment using a genetic algorithms.

The algorithm sweeper py works as. Irobot is a bit hazy on how it does this but howstuffworks believes that it sends out an infrared signal and checks how long it takes to bounce back to the infrared receiver located on its bumper. Once it establishes the size of the room it knows how long it should spend cleaning it. Neato uses an organized approach.

I ve never owned a roomba but given what i have read about it s algorithm i would never switch from a neato.
