Problem Statement:
 It helps the people of old age ,working women and
especially handicapped or ill persons.
 Less supervision is required because it operates
automatically without any dictation or supervision
 It helps the people who have tough job routine or any
other activity who have not enough time to clean the
floor, it overcomes this problem

Objectives
 To design a floor cleaning robot that work on a route control
system
 To design a system that will make a vacuum cleaning process
 To design a system that is low in cost and human friendly
 To implement the robot on a specific path and provide this a
direction.
 To design a system that will help a lot to lower the number of
labour for cleaning purpose
 To implement the system on Raspberry pi.

Literature Survey:
 We have studied the following papers on our project.
 First method is by using image processing
 Second method is to implement with route control system
 Third method is by using the line follower method
 Fourth method is by using the maze method.

Cont….
 In image processing we will design a matlab code for
giving our robot different locations and positions and is
controlled by wide angle camera.
 In a route control system we will control our robot by
using encoders.
 In line follower system we will implement on a whole
floor for cleaning.

Cont…
 In maze method we will design a system that work on a
zig zag method.
 Our implementation: after a complete study and survey
we have decided to use the route control system method
by using the encoder.
