What it was:
CleanBot Version 1 was though to be a two-wheel driven robot, with a front caster wheel. This is designed to be made for scrubbing dirty floors and cleaning up the grime and dirt.
How it works:
The nozzle will spray water/cleaning solution out onto the floor. The front scrub, which will be turned by a brushless motor, will speed at a speed faster than the wheels, allowing it to scrub the grim off the floor. A cloth that is attached at the back of the robot will be wipe up the grime and dirt that was scrubbed off the floor.
Why we changed it:
After discussion with Dr Ho and Mr Tony, the cleaning process was deemed to be too simplified. Mr Tony also urged us to reconsider the cleaning process.
