A Practical Framework for Cleaning Robots

2011 Sixth International Conference on Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications, 2011
This paper presents an extension to the pattern-based genetic algorithm for multiple cleaning robots to achieve complete coverage path planning in an unknown environment. The extension is formulated in the form of a framework which consists of four phases. The phases are scouting, task distribution, cleaning, and confirmation. The scouting phase allows

Vision-based cleaning area control for cleaning robots

IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2012
This paper provides a vision based HCI method for a user to command a cleaning robot to move to a specific location in home environment. Six hand poses are detected from a video sequence taken from a camera on the cleaning robot. AdaBoost based hand-pose detectors are trained with a reduced Haar-like feature set to make the detectors robust to the ...

A Navigation System for Cleaning Robots

Autonomous Robots, 2000
Free navigation in indoor environments is one of the main enabling technologies for many service robot applications. The SIEMENS navigation system SINAS which is primarily targeted towards cleaning robot applications, has proved its suitability for tough everyday operation since August 1996 on several occasions, e.g., in several chain store ...

Cooperating Cleaning Robots

2002
If multiple robots are used to cooperatively clean a large room, e.g. an airport, a variety of problems have to be solved. The area which has to be cleaned must be partitioned among the robots, each robot must completely cover the area it is responsible for and collisions among the robots must be avoided.

Robotics window cleaning

International Conference on Control '94, 1994
The paper describes the simulation and development programme for a robot demonstrator for window cleaning by mimicking human actions. Human washing and wiping actions are carried out by a sophisticated cleaning head with a combined datum finding and cleaning function. Some of the salient features of the robotic window cleaner are outlined. The combined

Pipe Cleaning Robot

2019 International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering (ICNTE), 2019
The cleaning of pipelines in various industrial environments is a risky and laborious work which poses a threat to the human workers involved. This work involves the design and fabrication of a fully autonomous industrial pipe cleaning robot. This robot consists of three track system, a forward cleaning mechanism and a body.

Swarm robotics for a dynamic cleaning problem

Proceedings 2005 IEEE Swarm Intelligence Symposium, 2005. SIS 2005., 2005
Several recent works considered multi agents robotics in static environments. In this work we examine ways of operating in dynamic environments, in which changes may take place regardless of the agents' activity. The work focuses on a dynamic variant of the known Cooperative Cleaners problem (described and analyzed in [I.A.

A Floor Cleaning Robot for Domestic Environments

Proceedings of the Advances in Robotics, 2017
Although a number of cleaning machines have made its way into the market, cleaning robot in the context of domestic floor environments with different types of dust and dynamic obstacles is still a challenge. This paper presents a mobile robot with sweeping, vacuum suction and wiping capacity for effective cleaning of a domestic floor.

Clean Room Robotics

1989
The air in the clean rooms used to manufacture microchips must be 1,000 times cleaner than that in a hospital operating room to avoid the danger of contaminant damage to chips. A typical clean room is shown in Figure 1.
