Cleaning Robot

Cleaning robots are increasingly sophisticated, aiming to automate cleaning tasks in homes, public spaces, and even specialized environments like hospitals. Current research focuses on improving autonomy through advanced perception (e.g., vision-language models for object recognition and classification), efficient path planning (using reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms), and personalized task execution (leveraging large language models to adapt to user preferences). This field is significant due to its potential to address labor shortages, improve hygiene standards, and contribute to new applications in healthcare and environmental remediation, while also raising important considerations around user privacy and energy efficiency.
