The robot is called EZClean-Bot. Our slogan “Always on-Always clean-Always relax” means that when you set it on for the first time, you don’t have to look after it again because it has an automatic “Return to Home” feature that allows the robot to automatically charge itself when it has done its job. The robot will also be provided continuous power from the sunlight using a Solar Panel attached on top of it. The robot will be controlled by user-friendly buttons, and it is integrated with a self-mapping system, so it will clean the whole area thoroughly without bumping and crashing into objects or humans/animals. The robot can start itself using a pre-set timer/schedule. This EZClean-Bot is integrated with strong and durable steel brushes which are attached in vertical and horizontal directions, so it can clean not only the cobble/pavement but also the grass, dust, soil, and dirt between the cobble. The brushes will be attached with a small but high torque motor and can spin up to 10000 RPM depending on the surface. The robot has 2 big motorized driving wheels at the rear and 2 caster wheels for free movement. The whole system will be energized by two Li-Ion 12V and 5V batteries and a solar panel to increase its running time. There will also be some RGB LED light strips around the robot, so it can tell some information by seeing the different light colors. In addition, the robot is included with a high-capacity container to store the dust, soil, grass, etc. so you don’t have to sweep it by yourself again. The focus of our project will be a lightweight, portable, easy to maintain, energy-efficient, safe, and durable machine in which we have all our wiring, gear, motor, brush fully enclosed in a housing that protects it from water, wind, dust, and other extreme conditions. The cost of this product will be kept as low as possible in order to reach as many customers as we could. This robot will be a middle-end robot, so its target sale will be middle-range financial residence to a small company in Europe. Lastly, our product will be produced by four intelligent engineers from different majors and specialities. Our product pitch, design concept, and features are presented in an audio-visual format and is awarded the Science Communication ‘Bronze Leaf Prize’ for an outstanding online video presentation in the category of ‘Audience Choice’ on January 18th, 2022.
