Glass Cleaning Robot
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 AUD
My goal is to build a palm-sized, battery-powered robot that cleans glass. When it finishes a run, it should locate its dock, couple for charging, and stay parked until the next scheduled cycle.
Key functions
• A working prototype that does both sides of glass at the same time. One side is active the other is moved by the active robot side
• cleaning mechanism is by rotary scrubbing
• routine scheduling and self-start
• ability to dock for charging with the dock to be used idle storage.
• ability to accommodate for non rectangular glass
Variables
• Ideal to be around palm size,
• It doesn’t need ongoing sensors if the window can be mapped and saved
• No water spray or suction needed
• Magnetic attachment of robot to the second side
Deliverables
1. Fully assembled working prototype with charging dock.
2. Brief build log so refinements or small-batch production are possible.
3. Refinement after testing of the prototype
4. It should be water resistant, it won’t be submerged
