The robot vacuum
project is a robot that moves around the place to suck out dust and dirt scattered on the ground. So with the user only pressing the power button and the vacuum starts the cleaning process and in the end gives the user an alert that it has finished the task
Inspiration
I like to make models a lot, whether it's paper, foam, or even wood, so usually when I make these models, I find the place full of small crumbs of form materials that are difficult to clean, and when I was browsing Google I found a picture of this broom and read more about how it works, and then I decided to make my own one and clean instead of me.
