| Summary: | To have a healthy, comfortable, and fresh civilized life we need to do some
unhealthy households. Cleaning the dirty floor with a mop is one of the most disgusting and
scary house hold jobs. Mopping robots are a solution of such problem. However, these robots
are still on the way to be smart enough. Many points limit their efficiency, i.e. cleaning sticky
dirt, having dry floor after cleaning, monitoring, cost etc. ‘HotBot’ is a mopping robot that can
clean dirty floor with nice efficiency leaving no sticky dirt. Hot water can be used for heavy
stains or normal water for usual situation and economy. It needs neither to be monitored during
mopping nor to wipe the floor after it. ‘HotBot’ has sensors to detect obstacles and a control
mechanism to avoid those. Moreover, it cleans sequentially and equipped with several
accident-protection-systems. Moreover, it is also cost effective compared to the robots
available so far. |
