Abstract :
The increasing demand for automated cleaning solutions has led to the development of smart vacuum systems that
can operate autonomously in indoor environments. This paper presents the design and implementation of a cost-effective
smart vacuum cleaner powered by non-rechargeable batteries, controlled by an Arduino-based microcontroller system. The
primary aim is to demonstrate an efficient cleaning mechanism suitable for small-scale applications, such as domestic or
academic use, without the added complexity of rechargeable battery management.
The proposed system integrates key components such as DC motors for mobility and suction, ultrasonic sensors for
obstacle detection, and an Arduino Uno for centralized control. A motor driver module enables precise control of the drive
motors, allowing the robot to navigate and clean autonomously within a defined area. The vacuum's behavior is guided by
a programmed pathfinding and collision-avoidance algorithm, making it capable of operating with minimal human
intervention.
Although the use of non-rechargeable power sources limits long-term deployment, this design offers significant
advantages in terms of simplicity, cost, and ease of implementation. The system is particularly well-suited for educational
demonstrations, prototype development, and disposable-use scenarios where short-duration operation is sufficient. The
project illustrates the potential for creating low-cost, intelligent cleaning robots using open-source electronics and accessible
components.
