HVAC systems have two main problems which are dust and leakage problem. The current solution is being done manually by human, therefore it can’t be cleaned thoroughly to the middle of the systems. In addition according to the research, center of the HVAC channel contains the most dust. The location of the leakage is hidden by the ceiling, so it had to be dismantled and being checked manually. The solution we are offering is the Maintenance Robots of HVAC system. The robot has several main functions such as self-movement on HVAC channels, dust cleaning, leakage detection, mapping, displaying the map and leakage position on the application. To carry out its functions, the robot requires route mapping and leakage subsystem using LiDAR, infrared and IMU sensors, communication subsystem using radio frequency and interface subsystem using Tkinter and also Matplotlib from Python. The test results show that the robot has been able to do mapping with inaccuracies of 14 cm, can communicate up to a radius of 59.5 m, interface subsystem that can display the results of mapping and leakage, also it is easy to understand seen from 4/5 janitors who have been able to interpret the mapping results correctly.
