1. INTRODUCTION
Floor cleaner is very much useful in cleaning floors in hospitals, houses,
auditorium, shops, computer centers etc; it is very simple in construction and easy to
operate. Anybody can operate this machine easily. It consist of moisture cotton brush,
the brush cleans the floor and dried with aid of small blower. Hence it is very useful in
hospitals, houses, etc. The time taken for cleaning is very less and the cost is also very
less. Maintenance cost is less. Much type of machines is widely used for this purpose.
But they are working under different principles and the cost is also very high.

In our project is very simple drive mechanism and easy to operate any persons.
The size of the machine is also portable, so we can transfer from one place to other place
very easily. The floor cleaner is simple, modern house holding device; even children can
also operate it easily with safety. It is very important one for each and every houses and
hospitals etc. Slipping is a common safety hazard for cleaning methods that involve water
or other liquids, especially if the floor is left wet. Sawdust is used on some floors to absorb
any liquids that fall rather than trying to prevent them being spilt. The sawdust is swept
up and replaced each day. This was common in the past in pubs and is still used in
some butchers and fishmongers .it used to be common to use tea leaves to collect dirt from
carpets and remove odors. There are also a wide variety of floor cleaning machines
available today such as floor buffers, automatic floor scrubbers and sweepers,
and carpet extractors that can deep clean almost any type of hard floor or carpeted flooring
surface in much less time than it would take using a traditional cleaning method.

1. Clear the floor of any furniture that is easy to move.

2. Mop the floor, going along with the grain. For a polyurethane coated floor, dampen a
mop with water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Be sure to ring out the mop
thoroughly before using it on the floor. Run the mop back and forth, going with the
grain of the wood in smooth strokes. Do not use water for lacquered or shellacked
floors, as it can stain the wood and cause buckling.
3. Buff the floor with a soft cloth to remove any soapy residue. Cloth diapers work well
for buffing since they are very soft and absorbent.

Tile and stone

Tile and stone flooring is common in kitchens, stairs, and bathrooms. Its cleaning
process can be divided into three steps:

1. Dirt or dust should first be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a broom.

2. Have a floor cleaning solution or spray bottle for the appropriate floor. If you are
cleaning stone floors (marble, granite, travertine, etc.), make sure the cleaning agent
states that it is for stones. An acidic tile cleaning solution can be used
on ceramic and porcelain floors
3. After spraying the tile or stone floors in a small area, use a mop to clean and scrub
floors.then wipe it with dry cloth

2. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION & OBJECTIVES

2.1 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

During the manual cleaning operation some dust and dirt particle may remain on the
floor and due to the action of air the dirt and dust particle transfer from one surface to
another surface which create the problems during cleaning which tends to increase manual
effort. Due to which desire cleaning of the surface not gain and because of that it takes
more time. During the rainy season the muddy water are dump on the corner of the wall
with the help of manual cleaning it cannot possible to remove all the water from the surface
of the floor which creates sleepy surface and which may increase the chances of accidents
also the water which remains on the corridor enter into the rooms. Due to uneven surface
of the corridor or floor during the wet cleaning of the surface desired cleaning not obtained
and backflow of the water occurs which tends to increase manual effort and it is difficult
to clean uneven surface of the floor and takes more time for cleaning of the surface.

2.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Environment such as office cleaning, robots will save the cost of manual labor that is
estimated at 5 USD per hour. Floor Botics has developed the robotic technology for these
market segments with an optimum balance of functionality, ease-of-use, performance, and cost.
They can clean floors, mow lawns and guard homes and will also assist old and handicapped
people, do some surgeries, inspect pipes and sites that are hazardous to people, fight fires and
defuse bombs. Residential robots are quite different from industrial robots because of
nonprofessional users. It needs high reliability and safety. Cleaning robots are getting more
popular for aging populations, it is necessary to design ‘really autonomous’ robots, easy to
stagnate or stasis are not allowable, especially for old users. ‘A robot in every home?’ reported
by Science News in 2004, ‘In the home, by the end of 2003, about 610,000 autonomous vacuum
cleaners and lawn-mowers were in operation, the report says. Between 2004 and 2007, more
than 4 million new units could be added, it adds.’ New market induced companies devoted to
new and functional robots design to get higher market share. In technical development of
varieties and advanced robots, one can find hundreds of papers. Many advanced robots have
powerful functions but still a big gap to commercialization. This paper analyzed commercial
robots by US granted patents, companies always file patent in advance for their commercial
products, granted patents are also a powerful weapon to stop competitors enter their claim
technology under its exclusive rights.

This module of automatic floor cleaning machine by micro controller is run to clean the floor
and sweeps the dust away. In this the module a remote controlled car has gear motor is attached
at front axis in between the front wheels , this motor is attached with a cleaning brush at front ,
and the gear motor is connected to 12volts battery and the remote car is attached with 9volts
battery. The remote car is controlled by the micro controller which can cover up to 20m range
in distance. When the remote controlled car is operated the DC gear motor is manually operated
in switch type , the motor runs in clockwise direction at high speed of 1000rpm and the brush
below the motor cleans the floor . We can control the movement of the car by micro-controller
and we can able to turns directions using it to clean the floor .By this way the module runs and
cleans the floor.

MANYAJAIN, PANKAJ SINGH RAWAT (2016)

“This project is used for domestic and industrial purpose to clean the surface automatically.
When it is turned on, it sucks in the dust by moving all around the surface (floor or any other

area) as it passes over it.In the modern era, the automatic floor cleaner is required. Thus, the
cleaner is designed in such a way that it is capable of cleaning the area reducing the human
effort just by starting the cleaning unit”.

SAHIL BHARTI, S.R. SANDHAVE (2016)

“To develop an automated cleaning assistance this helps in cleaning flat surface with the ease
of remote control with greater efficiency at work. The surface cleaning machine that is proposed

“Solar operated floor cleaning machine. He had made a project on cleaning system based on
solar power. For this he has used Pv panel which convert particle of energy (photons) into
electricity. He use this clean energy to power his cleaning machine”.

M RANJIT KUMAR (2016)

“The regular floor cleaning machines is most generally utilized as a part of airplane terminal
stages, railroad stages, healing centers, transport stands, and shopping centers and in numerous
other business places. These gadgets require an electrical vitality for its activity and not easy to
use. In India, particularly in summer, there is control emergency and the vast majority of the
floor cleaning machine isn't utilized successfully because of this issue, especially in transport
stands. In this work, demonstrating and investigation of the floor cleaning machine was finished
utilizing appropriate financially accessible programming. From the limited component
investigation, we watch that the feeling of anxiety in the physically worked floor cleaning
machine is inside as far as possible”.

4.1 WORKING PRINCIPLE

The cleaning liquid is mixed in proper proportion and it is poured into the
reservoir through the top way. The cleaning liquid is poured until the tanks are filled.
Actuating the lever opens the valve. Cleaning liquid from the tank spills on the brush.
After the required amount is delivered, the lever is released and the machine is switched
ON. The brush gets drive from motor through pulleys and belts. The brush applies
pressure on the floor, when the adjuster rod is unscrewed and the handle is moved in the
required direction to clean the sufficient area. Again the lever is operated to supply
cleaning liquid whenever required. This process is repeated, so floor is cleaned well.
The cotton brush prevents the damages on the mosaic, marble floors and gives smooth
surface finish and shining.

4.2 CLEANING BASICS

Commercial office cleaning companies use a wide variety of cleaning methods, chemicals,
and equipment to facilitate and expedite the cleaning process. The scope of work may include
all internal, general and routine cleaning - including floors, tiles, partition walls, internal walls,
suspended ceilings, lighting, furniture and cleaning, window cleaning, deep cleans of sanitary
conveniences and washing facilities, kitchens and dining areas, consumables and feminine
hygiene facilities as well as cleaning of telephones, IT, and other periodic cleaning as required.
Carpet cleaning though, even with regular vacuuming, needs hot water extraction applied every
18 to 24 months. External cleaning, litter picking, and removal of graffiti may also be
incorporated.[1]
The two global cleaning industry associations, the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc)
and the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA), both publish standards for managers
and operatives engaged in cleaning activities.
The commercial cleaning industry is extremely competitive and employees tend to be at the
lower end of the pay scale. However, unionized workers may earn higher wages. Many
commercial cleaning companies provide on-the-job training for all new employees due to the
nonexistence of tertiary based courses for the cleaning industry. A trend in the cleaning industry
is the elimination of the usage of more hazardous chemicals such as drain cleaners due to
liability and environmental concerns. Individuals employed in commercial cleaning typically
hold the job title of janitor, custodian, or day porter
In Australia, the US, and Europe, commercial cleaning companies are encouraged to screen all
employees for evidence of a criminal background. In some countries, such as the United
Kingdom, cleaners working in schools, children's care homes and childcare premises are
required by law to undergo a criminal record check.

5.1 Welding operation

FIG 1 : WELDING

Welding Is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials,

usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing
them to cool causing fusion. Welding is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining
techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal.
In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to form a
pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to form a joint that, based on weld
configuration (butt, full penetration, fillet, etc.), can be stronger than the base material (parent
metal). Pressure may also be used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce a weld.
Welding also requires a form of shield to protect the filler metals or melted metals from being
contaminated or oxidized.

13
 AUTOMATIC FLOOR CLEANING MACHINE

Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame (chemical),
an electric arc (electrical), a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. While often an
industrial process, welding may be performed in many different environments, including in
open air, under water, and in outer space. Welding is a hazardous undertaking and precautions
are required to avoid burns, electric shock, vision damage, inhalation of poisonous gases and
fumes, and exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation.
Until the end of the 19th century, the only welding process was forge welding,
which blacksmiths had used for millennia to join iron and steel by heating and hammering. Arc
welding and oxy-fuel welding were among the first processes to develop late in the century,
and electric resistance welding followed soon after. Welding technology advanced quickly
during the early 20th century as the world wars drove the demand for reliable and inexpensive
joining methods. Following the wars, several modern welding techniques were developed,
including manual methods like shielded metal arc welding, now one of the most popular
welding methods, as well as semi-automatic and automatic processes such as gas metal arc
welding, submerged arc welding, flux-cored arc welding and electro slag welding.
Developments continued with the invention of laser beam welding, electron beam
welding, magnetic pulse welding, and friction stir welding in the latter half of the century.
Today, the science continues to advance. Robot welding is commonplace in industrial settings,
and researchers continue to develop new welding methods and gain greater understanding of
weld quality.
To supply the electrical power necessary for arc welding processes, a variety of different power
supplies can be used. The most common welding power supplies are constant current power
supplies and constant voltage power supplies. In arc welding, the length of the arc is directly
related to the voltage, and the amount of heat input is related to the current. Constant current
power supplies are most often used for manual welding processes such as gas tungsten arc
welding and shielded metal arc welding, because they maintain a relatively constant current
even as the voltage varies. This is important because in manual welding, it can be difficult to
hold the electrode perfectly steady, and as a result, the arc length and thus voltage tend to
fluctuate. Constant voltage power supplies hold the voltage constant and vary the current, and
as a result, are most often used for automated welding processes such as gas metal arc welding,
flux cored arc welding, and submerged arc welding. In these processes, arc length is kept
constant, since any fluctuation in the distance between the wire and the base material is quickly
rectified by a large change in current. For example, if the wire and the base material get too
close, the current will rapidly increase, which in turn causes the heat to increase and the tip of
the wire to melt, returning it to its original separation distance.
The type of current used plays an important role in arc welding. Consumable electrode
processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding generally use direct
current, but the electrode can be charged either positively or negatively. In welding, the
positively charged anode will have a greater heat concentration, and as a result, changing the

14
 AUTOMATIC FLOOR CLEANING MACHINE

polarity of the electrode affects weld properties. If the electrode is positively charged, the base
metal will be hotter, increasing weld penetration and welding speed. Alternatively, a negatively
charged electrode results in more shallow welds No consumable electrode processes, such as
gas tungsten arc welding, can use either type of direct current, as well as alternating current.
However, with direct current, because the electrode only creates the arc and does not provide
filler material, a positively charged electrode causes shallow welds, while a negatively charged
electrode makes deeper welds. Alternating current rapidly moves between these two, resulting
in medium-penetration welds. One disadvantage of AC, the fact that the arc must be re-ignited
after every zero crossing, has been addressed with the invention of special power units that
produce a wave pattern instead of the normal sine wave, making rapid zero crossings possible
and minimizing the effects of the problem.
The process of welding is most important to our project because this process make our
work easy to joint mild steel square rod from making frame of our floor cleaning machine.

5.2 DRILLING OPRATION

FIG 2 : DRILLING

15
 AUTOMATIC FLOOR CLEANING MACHINE

Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid
materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point. The bit
is pressed against the work-piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions
per minute. This forces the cutting edge against the work-piece, cutting off chips (swarf) from
the hole as it is drilled.
In rock drilling, the hole is usually not made through a circular cutting motion, though the bit
is usually rotated. Instead, the hole is usually made by hammering a drill bit into the hole with
quickly repeated short movements. The hammering action can be performed from outside the
whole (top-hammer drill) or within the hole (down-the-hole drill, DTH). Drills used for
horizontal drilling are called drifter drills.
In rare cases, specially-shaped bits are used to cut holes of non-circular cross-section;
a square cross-section is possible.
Drilling may affect the mechanical properties of the work piece by creating low residual
stresses around the hole opening and a very thin layer of highly stressed and disturbed material
on the newly formed surface. This causes the work piece to become more susceptible
to corrosion and crack propagation at the stressed surface. A finish operation may be done to
avoid these detrimental conditions.
For fluted drill bits, any chips are removed via the flutes. Chips may form long spirals or small
flakes, depending on the material, and process parameters.[3] The type of chips formed can be
an indicator of the machinability of the material, with long chips suggesting good material
machinability.
When possible drilled holes should be located perpendicular to the work piece surface. This
minimizes the drill bit's tendency to "walk", that is, to be deflected from the intended center-
line of the bore, causing the hole to be misplaced. The higher the length-to-diameter ratio of the
drill bit, the greater the tendency to walk.

5.3 PUNCHING OPRATION

Punching is a forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through
the work piece to create a hole via shearing. Punching is applicable to a wide variety of materials
that come in sheet form, including sheet metal, paper, vulcanized fiber and some forms
of plastic sheet. The punch often passes through the work into a die. A scrap slug from the hole
is deposited into the die in the process. Depending on the material being punched this slug may
be recycled and reused or discarded.

16
 AUTOMATIC FLOOR CLEANING MACHINE

Punching is often the cheapest method for creating holes in sheet materials in medium to high
production volumes. When a specially shaped punch is used to create multiple usable parts from
a sheet of material the process is known as blanking. In metal forging applications the work is
often punched while hot, and this is called hot punching. Slugging is the operation of punching
in which punch is stopped as soon as the metal fracture is complete and metal is not removed
but held in hole.

FIG 3 : PUNCHING

Punch tooling (punch and die) is often made of hardened steel or tungsten carbide. A die is
located on the opposite side of the work piece and supports the material around the perimeter
of the hole and helps to localize the shearing forces for a cleaner edge. There is a small amount
of clearance between the punch and the die to prevent the punch from sticking in the die and so
less force is needed to make the hole. The amount of clearance needed depends on the thickness,
with thicker materials requiring more clearance, but the clearance is always greater than the
thickness of the work piece. The clearance is also dependent on the hardness of the work piece.
The punch press forces the punch through a work piece, producing a hole that has a diameter
equivalent to the punch, or slightly smaller after the punch is removed. All ductile materials
stretch to some extent during punching which often causes the punch to stick in the work piece.
In this case, the punch must be physically pulled back out of the hole while the work is
supported from the punch side, and this process is known as stripping.

6. METHODOLOGY
6.1: INTRODUCTION
Cleaning machine is very much useful in cleaning floors and outside ground in
hospitals, houses, auditorium, bus stands and public place etc. In modern days interior as
well as outside cleaning are becoming an important role in our life. Cleaning of waste is a
very important one for our health and reduces the man power requirement. Many of floor
cleaning machines are available but we developed machine is very simple in construction
and easy to operate. Anybody can operate this machine easily. Hence it is very useful in
hospitals, any large area space. The time taken for cleaning is very less and the cost is also
very less. Maintenance cost is less. Much type of machines is widely used for this purpose.
In our project we have made the machine to operate in a fully mechanical way with a little
amount of electrical components. The Floor cleaner is of very simple construction and is
very easy to operate; anyone can operate it without any prior training of any sorts with
safety. Cleaning is essential need of this generation. Basically in colleges and hospitals for
floor cleaning regularly different techniques are used to clean the different types of
surfaces.

The reasons for floor cleaning are:

 Injuries due to slips on the floors are cause of accidental injuries or death. Bad practice
in floor cleaning is a major cause of accidents.
 To beautify the floor.
 Debris and obstructions are to be removed.
 Allergens and dusts are to be removed.
 Surfaces wear to be avoided.
 To make the environment sanitary (kitchens).
 Traction should be maintained at optimum level, so that no slip will occur.

6.2 CONSTRUCTION
DC motor:

DC motor is an electrical machine that utilizes electric power resulting in mechanical

power output. Normally the motor output is a rotational motion of the shaft. The input
may be direct current supply or alternating supply. But in case of DC motor direct current
is used. The mechanism of dc motor is like a bar wound with wire is placed in between 2
magnets having North and South Pole. When it is provided with electric supply the wire
becomes energized resulting in rotational motion which leads to rotational output. The
universal motor can operate on direct current but is a lightweight motor used for portable
power tools and appliances. Larger DC motors are used in propulsion of electric vehicles,
elevator and hoists, or in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent of power electronics
has made replacement of DC motors with AC motors possible in many applications can

BRUSHES:
A scrubber is a type of wide brush with a long shaft used for cleaning hard floors or
surfaces. Unlike a broom, which has soft bristles to sweep dirt away, a scrubber has hard
bristles for brushing. It may therefore be used wet, with water or cleaning fluids. Around
the brush head there may also be a removable floor cloth or mop, either soaked in water
for cleaning or dry for wiping dry. However, these days other cleaning implements tend
to be used for such purposes and for many other purposes. It is one of the most basic and
versatile tools in use today, and the average household may contain several dozen
varieties. They generally consist of a handle or block to which filaments are affixed either
parallel- or perpendicular-wise, depending on the way the brush is to be gripped during
use. The material of both the block and bristles or filaments is chosen to withstand
hazards of its application, such as corrosive chemicals, heat or abrasion.

FIG 5 : BRUSHES

AC MOTOR (220 V )
An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor
commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating
current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft
producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by
permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings.
Less common, AC linear motors operate on similar principles as rotating motors but have their
stationary and moving parts arranged in a straight line configuration, producing linear motion
instead of rotation. The two main types of AC motors are induction motors and synchronous
motors. The induction motor (or asynchronous motor) always relies on a small difference in
speed between the stator rotating magnetic field and the rotor shaft speed called slip
to induce rotor current in the rotor AC winding. As a result, the induction motor cannot produce
torque near synchronous speed where induction (or slip) is irrelevant or ceases to exist. In
contrast, the synchronous motor does not rely on slip-induction for operation and uses either
permanent magnets, salient poles (having projecting magnetic poles), or an independently
excited rotor winding. The synchronous motor produces its rated torque at exactly synchronous
speed. The brushless wound-rotor doubly fed synchronous motor system has an independently
excited rotor winding that does not rely on the principles of slip-induction of current. The
brushless wound-rotor doubly fed motor is a synchronous motor that can function exactly at the
supply frequency or sub to super multiple of the supply frequency. Other types of motors
include eddy current motors, and AC and DC mechanically commutated machines in which
speed is dependent on voltage and winding connection.

FLOOR CLANING MOP

A mop (such as a floor mop) is a mass or bundle of coarse strings or yarn, etc., or a piece
of cloth, sponge, or other absorbent material, attached to a pole or stick. It is used to soak
up liquid, for cleaning floors and other surfaces, to mop up dust, or for other cleaning
purposes.[1] The word is attested in English as early as 1496, but new refinements and
variations of mop designs have been introduced, from time to time. For example,
American inventor Jacob Howe received for a mop holder in 1893. A wet mop or moist
mop is, in professional cleaning, used as in the second step in the cleaning of a surface.
The wet mop is swept over the surface to dissolve and absorb fat, mud and dried-in liquid
contaminations. Professional wet mops consist of a flat sheet of microfiber textile or a
sheet with a surface. A dry mop or dust mop is designed to pick up dry, loose
contamination such as dust, earth, and sand from the surface of the floor. It consists of
yarn and/or microfiber and is used as a first step in cleaning a floor.is designed to pick up

AC MOTOR :
The next work of the machine is to make the surface wet. To achieve this we have designed a
sprinkling mechanism. Water is stored in a chamber that has a opening controlled by a motor.
By putting this motor to ON position water or cleaning liquid starts flowing from the chamber.
It is connected to a shower type arrangement via connecting pipe. the sprinkler system has a
number of holes arranged sequentially which can be modified manually. This arrangement
ensures equal wetness across the width. The challenge here is not to put too much liquid over
the surface which may lead to wet floor after the cleaning is complete. To overcome this the
motor is automated with the control system. This is programmed such a way to put required
amount of liquid according to the relative stay of the machine.

SWITCHED MODE POWER SUPPLY (SMPS):

Switched mode power supply (SMPS) converts A.C to D.C. A switched-mode power supply is
an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power
efficiently. Like other power supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a DC or AC source (often
mains power) to DC loads, such as a personal computer, while converting voltage and current
characteristics. Unlike a linear power supply, the pass transistor of a switching-mode supply
continually switches between low-dissipation, full-on and full-off states, and spends very little
time in the high dissipation transitions, which minimizes wasted energy. Ideally, a switched-
mode power supply dissipates no power. Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the ratio of
on-to-off time. This higher power conversion efficiency is an important advantage of a
switched-mode power supply. Switched-mode power supplies may also be substantially smaller
and lighter than a linear supply due to the smaller transformer size and weight. The main
advantage of the switching power supply is greater efficiency than linear regulators because the
switching transistor dissipates little power when acting as a switch.

CHASSIS:
It is the back bone of the system. All the systems and parts are attached to it. The solidity of
the system is greatly affected by the chassis. It in square, rectangular or circular shape Chassis
is consists of an internal vehicle frame that supports an artificial object in its construction and
use, can also provide protection for some internal parts. An example of a chassis is the under
part of a motor vehicle, consisting of the frame (on which the body is mounted). If the running
gear such as wheels and transmission, and sometimes even the driver's seat, are included, then
the assembly is described as a rolling chassis.

WHEEL:
A caster is a wheeled device typically mounted to a larger object that enables relatively easy
rolling movement of the object. Casters are essentially special housings that include a wheel,
facilitating the installation of wheels on objects. Casters are found virtually everywhere, from
office desk chairs to shipyards, from hospital beds to automotive factories. They range in size
from the very small furniture casters to massive industrial casters, and individual load
capacities span 100 pounds (45 kg) or less to 100,000 pounds (45 t). Wheel materials include
cast iron, plastic, rubber, polyurethane, forged steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more. This
type of caster allows for movement in multiple directions. They can have one or two sets of
raceways that allow the caster to swivel 360 degrees under a load.

9. CONCLUSION
Conclusion
The multipurpose floor cleaning machining is a device which uses the principle of
cleaning of floor combined with a few mechanical element to clean a surface of floor in big
area. It is very flexible machine with man effort reduced to the maximum possible extent. This
is a significant improvement from currently floor cleaning machine. As well as it is not potable
but compact device, the power consumption of the setup is also controlled electrical energy. In
this machine we complete four operation. In this case we reduce the cleaning time such as dry
floor clean in this time our society required 10-15 min but by using this machine we reared only
7-8 min as we as reduce the human effort.

The product thus developed is fully operational and gives desired motion. It is being tested in a
room which results in successful outcome. The scrubber design should be modified in future
because the current design has few problems. Few of those are the motor is not detachable and
the high rpm leads to vibration of the whole system. If these features will be modified, this will
work well.
