Abstract
A small and lightweight cleaning robot powered from the AC power supply is produced for testing purposes. The robot provides a cable-length control function which prevents tangling of the cables during traveling, an ultrasonic sensor function which detects obstacles and dodges them, and a distance measuring function which makes it possible to run parallel to the wall. In a simple room with few obstacles, the robot can travel even if it does not incorporate information but in areas with complicated placement of obstacles, it is necessary to teach the robot the obstacle positions and the room size in advance
