Abstract
Cleaning robots have revolutionized the way spaces and surfaces are cleaned, accessing areas that are often difficult for humans to reach. A significant segment of the cleaning robot industry is dedicated to home cleaning robots, which have undergone numerous enhancements since their initial introduction. Through extensive research and development efforts, the application scope of cleaning robots has expanded beyond floors to encompass walls, staircases, pools, tanks, ventilation ducts, windows, and other surfaces. These robots have seen improvements in cleaning effectiveness through the integration of new designs, technologies, and control methods. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of cutting-edge cleaning robots recently developed, exploring various sensor technologies and intelligent control strategies employed to enhance cleaning efficiency. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges associated with deploying these robots in real-world scenarios.
