Feasibility Study of a Custodial Robot: Phase I SBIR

Cybernet provided the conceptual design of a cleaning machine with navigation systems to be fitted to either an existing floor cleaner or bathroom cleaner to provide robotic cleaning of toilets, sinks, urinals, walls, partitions, and floors. The device incorporated a 2 degree-of-freedom wrist and 4 degree-of-freedom manipulator arm attached to a frame using vertical rails. The proposed motorized machine would navigate by sensors and would operate a spray arm, rotating high-pressure spray nozzles, and a suction bar.
