Abstract
Describes the background and development of a battery powered domestic robot vacuum cleaner. Major problems that have been solved are having the ability to clean a whole room without human intervention, and cleaning as well as a mains‐powered manual cleaner. A total of 50 on‐board sensors enable the robot to detect obstacles and plan cleaning strategies.
