  • equipped with four infrared Cliff Sensors that prevent robots from falling off stairs or ledges. The Cliff Sensors are located along the inside of the bumper
  • . If the Sensors become obstructed by dust or debris, the infrared signal is weakened

  • The Roomba Remote, Virtual Wall, and Home Base operate using an invisible infrared technology.

    we could use light snesor to pick up light emitting from the homebase

    the robot designs on this page are possible for our criteria. the majority of them have a ramp like structure on the front for pushing and flipping

    the ramp on the front seems to be the easiest way to win based on other designs ive seen.
  • Alexander Laferriere on 17 May 12
     
    this has some good ideas
  • Thaddeus McKeon on 17 May 12
     
    the terminator looks like a fun approach to this project
  • Thomas Helm on 17 May 12
     
    i wish i could see some of the videos but i cant right now i wanted to see if thee were any changes to ramp in general

    i thing that this proves that a big plow in the front may be a good idea
  • Joshua Wilkinson on 17 May 12
     
    Jarid had posted a link as well with the plow as a v shape. this would work if your going for pushing someone off the table

    this shows that the robots will be better at pushing if that have alot of torque

    sorta of a change in design than the last one i had thought was good

    this looks like it wikll work
  • Thomas Corcoran on 06 Dec 11
     
    this is a good idea but it would be hard to change the gears in a short amount of time
  • Declan Coen on 06 Dec 11
     
    this might be a possible solution but it might not have enough power to make it up the 22.5 degree incline.
  • Alexander Laferriere on 07 Dec 11
     
    looks good

    Great pictures Tommy. We can use some of these ideas to build our robot

      This is a good video to show how the cliff detection works
  • Declan Coen on 13 Oct 11
     
    it shows how the roomba uses the infared sensors to detect cliffs and dropoffs. the robot expects to recieve signals from the floor and if the signals take too long to get back to the robot such as driving over stairs, the roomba will stop and go in a different direction

      interesting how it uses the wall following and the spiral, nice demonstration

    this demonstrates how although it does the cleaning randomly it almost hits every spot eventually

  • oomba needs to find the infrared signal of the Home Base in order to return.

    this is how the roomba finds homebase
