| Title | The Aqua Sweeper | ||
| Supervisor | K. Khorasani | ||
| Description | The Aqua Sweeper is a robot that integrates technologies for pool maintenance.
It flows on the water surface removing particles such as leaves, mud, and insects. This gives
pool owners a simple cleaning solution. The robot contains several sensors, including obstacle
detection, to ensure effective navigation and coverage of the whole pool.
Users may manage and monitor the sweeper using a smartphone app that provides real-time data on the cleaning progress and battery status. The robot is equipped with sensors to detect trash gathering, and the skimmer chamber is simply removable for cleaning. The sweeper propulsion system ensures smooth movement across the water, while its rechargeable batteries allow for long-term operation, with the option for solar power as an eco-friendly alternative. The Aqua Sweeper aims to provide pool owners with a fully autonomous solution, ensuring their pools are always clean, with minimal effort and maximum convenience. The robot integration with smart technology helps users keep track of the cleaning process, optimizing pool maintenance and improving the swimming experience. |
