Need a visualization system to interpret the current status of the 3D space, id tasks, prioritize and execute.
The configuration and the space consumed by the Robot will be the most significant challenge. Need a customized trussing system to enable the robot to move in the 3D space of a bathroom. Most efficient would be a track-based, ceiling housed system--depending on the size of the bathroom--think claw games you see in arcades. This would be a semi-perm install however.
Need a tooling system on a central locomotion/power actuating system. If using one central robot system, the tooling system will allow you to change "heads" between the specialized tasks of lifting lids vs spraying disinfectant vs wiping around corners.
- SMrF 16y agoWhat if it's not mounted in the ceiling? What about legs/tracks that move the arm to where it needs to go. I was thinking a subsystem that identifies object, e.g. "there's the toilet" or "there's the bathtub", then moves the cleaning system closer to the object to be cleaned. I have a feeling this puts me closer to a 9 on my scale, but then again I feel like there are robots that do this subtask already? Identify target -> move to target. Plus I could cheat and put some sort of clue (RFID/infrared/big shiny sticker), on each object. Then it's just a matter of moving to the right spot.
