Abstract
The proposed thesis entitled “Design and Simulation of an Autonomous Dust Cleaner” deals with the automation of dust cleaning using a programmed robot. In this thesis, an autonomous dust cleaner is proposed. When this dust cleaner is kept on the floor of an area like garage, it cleans the floor with minimal human interactions like starting the unit or stopping it. The robot is programmed based on a random path walk programing. This means, the proposed model can clean the entire room by avoiding obstacles that come in its way within an ample amount of time. An attempt is made to design a prototype and practical tests resulted in considerable achievement of cleaning the entire area. In the process of making this product much affordable, the usage of this is narrowed down to cleaning of garage floors by using a traditional centrifugal fan mechanism and avoiding the usage of any other extra elements that would increase the cost of production. Ultrasonic sensors and Infrared sensors are used in an efficient way to detect obstacles and serve the purpose
