Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

A robotic vacuum cleaner is a device that is capable of cleaning floors without direct user interaction. It can be controlled via touch buttons on the top or configured and customized via a phone app. The user can also create custom cleaning schedules.

Design Challenges

There is a growing consumer demand for smart appliances, and robotic vacuums are some of the most popular and widely adopted products today. To continue to be appealing, they need to meet these criteria:

  • Small size
  • Light weight
  • Long battery life
  • Additional performance to run enhanced room mapping algorithms

Recommended Solutions

32-bit Microcontrollers (MCUs)

  • SAM S70 - Arm® Cortex®-M7 based MCU with powerful core for image processing and mapping
  • SAM D21 - Arm Cortex-M0+ based low-power, general-purpose MCU with hardware capacitive touch
  • SAM L11 - Arm Cortex-M23 based, ultra-low power MCU that provides chip-level security with Arm TrustZone® technology and secure boot and has enhanced hardware capacitive touch with water tolerance and parallel acquisition

dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs)

  • dsPIC33C – High-performance dual- and single-core dsPIC DSCs with maximum analog integration including high-speed  Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) with waveform generation, analog comparators and Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) for motor control, power conversion and sensor interfacing applications

Wireless Connectivity

  • ATWINC1500 (Wi-Fi®) - IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n SmartConnect IoT module
