Final Project (not now, maybe later)¶

A robot can clean(collect) leaves¶

graden1

In our lab, we have a small graden. The ground is covered with anti-spetic wood floor. During the afternoon sun light will go through the trees and make those amazing shadows on the floor. I also put a fish tank in the yard and keep some goldfish in it. Every day three stray cats would come to play with the fish. We feed them a lot so that they will not think of our fish as food.

In summer and autumn when the weather is good we would have classes here.

As you known, each garden need a lot of cleaning work. Every week I go to lab and collect those fallen leaves into a compost box. Especially in winter and spring a lot leaves will fall from the trees and some of them will stuck in those gaps of the wood floor. The clean become hard work. Because it won’t work if I use a normal broom like those: broom1 broom2 broom2

But I am lazy, I just want to enjoy the good time rather than doing labor work. So my idea comes from the graden. I want to make a robot which can collect leaves automatically. Then all I need to do is just drop those leaves into the compost box.

Sketch¶

Functions robot have:

Walk aroud in the graden;
Collect leaves on the wood floor;
Collect leaves stuck in the wood gap;
Climb stairs maybe;
Border detection incase of falling from stairs;
Charge by it self.
