A Low Cost Aurdino Controlled Floor Mopping Robot

The floor mopping robot is a upcoming application in service industry. Many researchers are working in this area of development and control of the cleaning robot. This paper focuses on new model development of floor mopping robot in particular at a optimum cost and high mechanical efficiency and also a new low cost algorithm for area filling. The motion of robot will be controlled by using two wheels coupled with stepper motors which will be controlled using Arduino board. Ultrasonic proximity sensors will be used for obstacle detection. The task of area filling, localisation and mapping will be carried out using the data from position encoders of motors, ultrasonic sensors, and a graphical user interface.
