Design and development of a DTMF controlled room cleaner robot with two path-following method

Abstract

Automatic control system for robotics is getting popular day by day because of its incredible reliability and especially for the time optimization capability with performance. In this paper, the implementation of a room cleaning robot is presented which has been developed using the Arduino Uno platform with control ability by cell phone from any distance using DTMF technology. It is an electronic device with self-controlled obstacle avoidance capability along with a waste and dust cleaning system. Generally, a vacuum cleaner is an effective technology for household cleaning purpose, but it requires to be operated manually by any person. The main purpose of developing a DTMF-controlled room cleaner robot is to implement an automatic cleaning system which can be operated from any distance by using the cell phone. The robot has been built on microcontroller platform and utilized DTMF technology to develop remote controlling operation. Two effective smart paths following methods have been utilized by the robot for cleaning operation along with upgraded vacuum system with necessary filter and air suction system.
