Final year project the first part
why we made our project:
With the advancements in automation technology nowadays, the involvement of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in everyday tasks is becoming a reality. The
use of such advanced technologies leads to task fulfillment cost and time efficiency. As
such, the use of robotic devices for automated task fulfillment is becoming a must
nowadays. This project focuses on the design and implementation of an autonomous
window cleaning robot. Such a robotic device will replace the way windows are
traditionally cleaned with the aid of humans and make it more time and cost efficient to
use the proposed robotic device, especially in high-rise building scenarios. The proposed
robotic device uses ML algorithms that provide path planning mechanisms prior to
initiation and while running. Obstacle avoidance methods are also incorporated to ensure
that path routes are planned to avoid any known obstacles. Obstacles that are found in
real-time would initiate the path planning algorithm to run iteratively to find more
optimal paths in terms of time-efficiency. A plethora of sensors are used to support the
robotic device in path detection and movement.
