The study’s goal is to innovate an autonomous, efficient, and environmentally friendly floor-cleaning robot capable of automatically removing dust and dirt, reducing manual effort in scrubbing and sweeping, and enhancing traditional cleaning methods. This prototype integrates innovation, defined as the application of new technologies or processes to improve products or services and create new value (Nurjaya et al., 2021). In the context of household cleaning, automation and robotics have become essential for adapting to modern life, allowing routine chores to be completed efficiently with minimal human intervention.

To achieve practicality and affordability, the prototype employs Arduino technology, enabling simple and effective automation of cleaning tasks. By leveraging AI and automation, the system addresses limitations in conventional floor cleaning techniques and enhances living conditions (John et al., 2022). Additionally, the robot is powered by solar energy, a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-efficient energy source, supporting long-term operation without reliance on conventional electricity.

Modern robot vacuums have evolved significantly and are capable of improving household life by effectively removing dust, allergens, and debris, surpassing the performance of traditional hand-operated vacuums. They provide users with more free time while promoting cleaner, healthier living environments. The primary objective of this prototype is to develop a solar-powered vacuum and floor-cleaning robot that can autonomously collect dry dust particles and mop floors without human intervention, thereby improving household cleaning efficiency and overall quality of life.
