Observations from a Literary Survey

S.No Observation from Surveys Requirements
1. Weight of Machine It should be lightweight (under 3–4 kg) and easy to carry between floors or rooms.
2. Duration of Operation The robot should operate continuously for at least 30 to 45 minutes on a single full charge.
3. Cost / Budget The machine should be built with a minimal overall cost (target budget under ₹3,500).
4. Cleaning Efficiency & Coverage The machine should clear fine dust and loose debris at a rate of 2 to 3 sq. meters per minute.
5. Materials to be used Materials must be non-toxic, lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant (e.g., acrylic, ABS plastic).
6. Obstacle & Drop Detection The system must detect walls, furniture, and steps to avoid collisions and falls.
7. Noise Level Operational sound output must stay below 65 dB to prevent household disruption.
8. Maintenance & Bin Capacity The dustbin/collector should be easy to remove, wash, and reinstall without special tools.
