Abstract :
Domestic robots are one of the new industrial challenges. The cleaning robots market is expected to grow with an unpredictable and incredible way. In this paper, a floor-cleaning robot specifically designed for this function is proposed. Aspects as sensors placement, motor control and robot control are considered towards an optimal implementation of this helpful robot.
