An FPGA based service Robot for floor cleaning with autonomous navigation

Abstract

In this present era, people live a very busy life. People in megalopolis have irregular and long working times. In such a situation people find hard to save their time. Especially for working women and old age people required floor cleaning type service robots. Floor cleaning is a typical service robot application. The algorithm derived in this paper is used to design a fully autonomous Service Robot. It able to navigate by detecting obstacles and manipulates its direction with the help of inputs from ultrasonic sensors. The hardware efficient method are used to accomplish the task. The uniqueness of this algorithm apart from being autonomous is that various techniques are used for the purpose of smart obstacle avoidance.
