REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The related literature includes relevant studies carried out by various researchers that

enforces development of vacuum cleaner robot. Some of them are as follows:

Cleanliness is a crucial component of human lifestyles and is intertwined with fitness

technology. Therefore, scientists are developing straightforward machinery to help the network

or cleaning personnel polish floors. Utilizing a well-known element, specifically the Arduino

Uno as the microcontroller and a DC (direct current) motor as the power source, is done so

because using electronically controlled equipment is more comfortable. Then, using an ultrasonic

sensor, a robotic device for automated ground cleaning was created. This technology could

provide an opportunity to help the general public or cleaners with normal floor maintenance

(Shaik 2021).

Another study from Win and Kyaw (2018), they invented vacuum cleaner as an

electromechanical device featuring IR (infrared) and ultrasonic sensors. A pair of IR sensors are

used to detect the surface beneath the robot, and an ultrasonic sensor is used to detect obstacles

in front of the robot. These sensors are mounted to the left and right sides of the robot to prevent

it from falling over while it is in operation. Using a pair of IR sensors and the surface detector

feature, it can also clean on a table without tipping over.

Rathee et. al. (2020) stated that a smart floor cleaner is a piece of technology that uses

Arduino-based technology and is intelligently programmed to clean a certain area. Wet and dry

mopping, vacuuming, obstacle recognition, security cameras, and UV sterilization are a few

characteristics found in smart floor cleaners. Furthermore, they added that embedded technology

was used in the creation of the intelligent floor-cleaning robot powered by Arduino. In order to

communicate wirelessly with the robot using an Android application, Bluetooth is used.
The goal of this proposed project study is to create an innovative design of vacuum

cleaner robot in order to make the lives of the people in the community more efficient. The

proposed project study is a simple robotic Vacuum Cleaner that is embedded with a sensor to

avoid obstacles intelligently while vacuuming the floor simultaneously, using Arduino. The

project study is enacted to help your home to become clean and tidy with lesser effort. This

project study is incited from a project report entitled “Smart Vacuum Cleaner” (Ananya et. al.

2020).
