Project Overview
In today’s fast-paced world, hygiene and cleanliness are more important than ever. Regular cleaning requires physical effort, time, and constant attention — which can be difficult for:
-
Elderly people -
Pregnant women -
Patients -
Working families
To address this real-world challenge, we designed and developed a Smart Autonomous Cleaning & Sanitization Robot — an intelligent, multi-functional robotic system that cleans, sanitizes, and dries floors automatically, ensuring complete hygiene and safety.
This project was conceptualized and built in the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) using core principles of Computational Thinking:
Problem Decomposition
Pattern Recognition
Algorithm Design
Logical Programming
Real-world Testing & Iteration
Technology & System Architecture
At the heart of our robot is the powerful Arduino Uno microcontroller, which acts as the brain of the system. It integrates multiple smart subsystems into one intelligent platform.
