Using slam and bumpers it maps the current room perimeter first then applies some algorithm for cleaning as efficiently as possible.
Robot room cleaner algorithm.
The robot only provides 3 api.
The algorithm knows nothing about the surrounding environment.
Turn left turn right rotate the looking direction and move move ahead 1 point the goal of the algorithm is to make the robot travel around room with any point in the room visited at least one.
The algorithm sweeper py works as.
In the proposed model the map is built on a disk shape which represents the robot position that are connected to each other with only local lateral connections.
Therefore this paper focuses on ppcr of vacuum cleaner robot in the room environment using a genetic algorithms.
How does it work.
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.
Once it establishes the size of the room it knows how long it should spend cleaning it.
Neato uses an organized approach.
The first thing roomba does when you press clean is calculate the room size.
I ve never owned a roomba but given what i have read about it s algorithm i would never switch from a neato.
The way a robot vacuum travels around the room as it cleans really matters.
