Development of robot model for cleaning open space

Open space cleaning is an important routine work in spaces like institutes, offices, public places etc. In this work, a demonstration model of robot for cleaning is developed for open spaces. The purpose of developing such a demonstration model of robot for cleaning is to find solution to reduce the man power required for the same and to automate the cleaning process. In the first step, subparts of demonstration model of robot for cleaning are created and assembled using CAD software. In the next step, analysis is conducted by varying the frame thickness of the demonstration model of robot for cleaning. The demonstration model of robot for cleaning is simulated in ANSYS Academic Research version 18.0 Static Structural. It is obtained that demonstration model of robot for cleaning is safe because of Maximum Principal Stress is lower than yield strength under boundary and load conditions. Finally, fabrication of demonstration model of robot for cleaning is done. The coding which controls the motion of demonstration model of robot for cleaning is done in Python. The basic advantage of this demonstration model of robot for cleaning is that it will be cost effective with no human involvement. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
