Design and Construction of a Water-Cleaning Robot

Abstract

This paper presents the design and construction of a water-cleaning robot, the purpose of which is to remove floating material from such places as swimming pools and lagoons. The steps followed to design a floating structure, a drive or locomotion system on water and the perception and decision systems are described. As a result of this project we have the prototype of a robot capable of gathering and transporting floating pieces on water with the size and weight as a Ping-Pong, for unloading at the edge of a pool or lake
