Automatic Electrification Design And Path-Planning Research Of Cleaning Robot

As a sort of service robot,the cleaning robot can relieve people from the heavy cleaning work and will be widely used in our future life. The cleaner associates mobile robot with cleaner and involves in many related fields such as mechanism,electronics and computer science. It is a new research field of service robot,which contains high technologies and attracts attention from domestic and abroad. In the system of intelligent domestic cleaning robot, auto cleaning, docking charge while batteries are exhausted and so forth assignments are achieved by charge station and the robot working together.The paper introduces the development history of technology of cleaning robot, and discusses the background of auto charging. In order to satisfy the auto charging, and requirements of intelligent domestic cleaning robot system, an IR wireless communication system is presented based on MCU and a controller of fast charging. After that a totally new algorithm was adopted to develop the path planning into an unknown environment using by GP in the order of full area coverage and the obstacle avoiding automatically.Finally, through a series of experiment and modification, the cleaning robot can finish docking charge with the design requirement.
