A movie that magically remodeled the cleaning robot and installed `` flying function ''

Roomba, which has become synonymous with cleaning robots, can't get over stairs or steps, though it doesn't take any steps. However, if the cleaning robot could fly in the sky like a drone, cleaning inside the house would be easier, so a fierce person who added a flying function to the cleaning robot has appeared You.

A Roomba that CAN FLY!-YouTube


Peter Chapel, who runs the YouTube channel PeterSripol , will create a flying robot vacuum cleaner.

For a friend who lives in a room that is too dirty, buy a robot vacuum at Amazon.

Anker's robot vacuum cleaner arrived.

When used for a trial, it detects the steps accurately, so it does not fall off the stairs.

If you hide the sensor part on the back of the robot vacuum with a tape as a trial ...

I rolled off the stairs.

If the sensor is bare, you can not clean the stairs and downstairs, and if you hide the sensor, the robot vacuum will roll off the stairs, so it is possible to clean multiple floors with one robot vacuum Almost impossible.

And suddenly, the rotor started to rotate ...

A slightly plump, drone-like object appears.

What a robot vacuum cleaner is flying in the sky. Chapel's friends also express the expression, 'How come!'

First of all, we prepared a robot cleaner that was OK even if it was modified. Inexpensive and light plastics seem to be good.

Draw a line on the top with a white pen ...

Remove the bumper on the side of the robot cleaner.

And attach the rotor to three places on the side.

The reason for drawing the line with the white pen was to install the rotor evenly.

In addition, a board for controlling the three rotors is installed.

Battery is external. At the prototype stage, a huge rectangular parallelepiped held by a man is used as a battery.

Turn on the power of the drone parts at once ...

I will skip it. However, at first, the robot vacuum is only slightly lifted off the floor and cannot fly as stably as a drone.

So cut something like a styrene board ...

Create a handmade rudder. Attached to the rotor together with the rudder servo.

The rudder servo is fixed to the side of the cleaning robot with adhesive.

And flight test again.

By adding a rudder, the operation is quite stable and it is possible to fly firmly.

In addition, we have successfully landed the cleaning robot on the desk.

With the completion of the robot with a flight function, we will have a party and show off our friends with our own robot cleaner.

The problematic staircase was completely overcome by the flight function.

Some friends roar at the flying robot vacuum cleaner. Apparently he also wanted the cleaning robot to clean multiple floors.

It wasn't just “flicked”, but the trash could be cleaned properly. A few years later, it may be natural for a robot vacuum to fly in the sky ...
