User Group User group for special need to be people who are too busy to clean their house n Students who do not live with family ( stays at school or out of the house until last at night n People who go to work in the morning and come back late at night n Business-man who has business trip often n Seniors who has back-pain or hard to move, so they can not clean the house often

Goal Invent Artificial intelligent vacuum 1. Initialized the data of house structure 2. Using a xy-coordinates 3. Saves the every edges of the house 2. Bottom of the vacuum has towel to wipe the floor 3. Top of the vacuum has dust sucker and spray for fresh air

How it works n n n When user operate the vacuum first time, he/she installs every edge of the house Vacuum system will save those edges on the coordinate system From next time, it operates itself with the edges on the coordinate system

System Vacuum uses the xycoordinate n It calculates the point that it moved through n It memorizes the point by calculating the movement distance and vectors n

Peer Review – Taeho Kim What about power lines? - Isn’t the power lines border the way it moves? n What about obstacles? n How does it take care furniture in the house? n

Modification I add the battery on the vacuum n It will be charged on the vacuum charger, then it does not need the power lines n I load the obstacle sensors on front, right and left side of the vacuum, so it can notice if there is obstacles or not n

Re-evaluation The changes helps the user use them n It makes better performance and more reasonable n

Conclusion Do you have problems with dirty air in your house. n You don’t have time to clean house n You need a fresh air everyday n This vacuum will help you to have fresh and clean environment in your place n
