What it can do
Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
- Dusts table surfaces as it drives around, using a microfiber towel attached to a sweeper.
- Avoids objects in its path using an ultrasonic distance sensor and turns around when they are too close.
- Keeps itself from falling off the edge of a table using two infrared sensors that check both front corners.
- Described as a miniaturized, fully 3D-printed robot, with the duster as a modular add-on.
