Introducing a desktop cleaning robot that intelligently cleans the top of the desk!! | Gakken Plus Official Blog

The 5th installment of the adult science magazine masterpiece furoku series is "Desktop Robot Vacuum Cleaner"!

Achieves cleaning, running, rotation, and fall avoidance operations with just a single motor and gear combination

Speaking of a robot vacuum cleaner, a computer controls many sensors to clean the room. You may have an image of cleaning the inside and going around. However, the kit's robot vacuum doesn't have a computer, or any electronic sensors. There is no such thing as AI. Even so, even if it runs while cleaning, and even if it hits an obstacle or detects a step, it will turn around and continue running. These movements are realized by a combination of only one motor and several types of gears. The motor plays a dual role in both running and cleaning.
