Very cool. I’m going to give this a shot, but maybe with a little more power, bigger motors and some weight on the mop end for stability. I love this! Great video, thanks.
This is Awesome! But im really searching for a floor cleaning robot that doesn't uses machines. I just don't get machines and don't wanna buy one, Simple and great idea tho! :)
For Robot: Electrical cable raceway. Two geared DC motors. Two CD's. Few meters of wire(four different color wires). Circular cloth tied to CD. For Remote: A half cut PVC pipe. Two DPDT switches or Four Two way switch. A Battery. All the items are easily available online on ebay and amazon.
1. Electrical cable raceway 2. 2x DC motors(100 rpm each) 3. 2x CD's 4. Wiping cloth 5. Connecting wires 6. 2x DPDT switches (as used in RC toys) or 4x ON/ OFF switches 7. Half cut PVC pipe to mount the switches 8. Batteries as per the power specification of the motors used.
As you can see, there are two motors each controlled independently by the pair of two way switches. The two way switches when combined together work like a DPDT switch to control the direction of motor. With independent motor control, we can make all possible movements: When both the motors are rotated in clockwise direction, the robot moves forward. When both motors are rotated anti-clockwise, the robot moves backward. When ony the left motor is rotated clockwise, then robot turns right. When only right motor is rotated anti clockwise, then robot turns left. However, instead of using a pair of two way switch to make DPDT switch, it is more convenient to use a commercially available DPDT switch.(as used in RC toys and car power windows.)
Yes, any geared DC motor can be used and there is no need to make the li-ion battery holder. Use the batteries according to the power requirements of your motor.
There are two reasons for this, either the power supplied by the batteries you are using is not sufficient for the motors or the motors used in the project are not able to provide enough torque. Try to increase the supplied power to the circuit and the motors might work well.
Actually I havn't tried with normal DC motors, however i don't think that those motors will be able to provide sufficient torque for the device to move well. If you try it from normal toy DC motors, do share your experiences.
Well..you can also use DPDT switches also, that will give you much more control over the robot as you might have read in the video description. However, these toggle switches are not costly, I bought them for Rs.10 each from a local shop.
Thanks for appreciating my work :) The electronic part is quite simple. All you need is to connect two DC motors with two DPDT switches or four two way switches(as can be seen in the video). A pair of two way switch is connected together in order to perform bi-directional motion for each motor. There is a link to schematic in video description. Have a look at it carefully and you might easily understand the connections.
The materials needed are: 2x geared DC motor Electrical cable raceway 2x CDs Wiping cloth Connecting wires PVC pipe for remote control Battery and a battery holder 4x Two way switches
For Robot: Electrical cable raceway. Two geared DC motors. Two CD's. Few meters of wire(four different color wires). Circular cloth tied to CD. For Remote: A half cut PVC pipe. Two DPDT switches or Four Two way switch. A Battery.
Thanks :) Actually this is only for demonstration purposes but if you want to use it then instead of tying the cloth with a thread, use an elastic and then when the cloth gets dirty, it can be removed easily and washed.
It will be quite difficult to search and then provide links for all the items. I can tell you what items were used in this project and then you can search them on the websites.

It was designed more of as a prototype. For using it for practical purposes you can use elastic instead of thread and then can easily remove the cloth for washing.
GOODTECH - Creativity and Science thanks for replying .. I like the concept used here !! Elastic can surely help in this case. We can remove this part then as the direct surface cleaning the floor would be naturally getting dirty and grimy
In this i have used 4 two way switches, making 2 DPDT switches (i.e 2 two way switches to make 1 DPDT for creating bi-directional motion of 1 motor). Yes, different type of switches and their combinations can be used to create bi-directional motion of the motors. If possible, use two DPDT switches for simpler connections.
I used 6v geared DC motors. These motors are easily available online on amazon and ebay, however you can use any geared DC motors that can be fixed in your design.
6v geared DC motor. If you need material links and additional info, have a look at my instructables page - www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Remote-Controlled-Floor-Cleaning-Rob/
This is just a simple wired remote control made from DPDT switches, battery, general purpose PCB and wires. However, if you need additional details as well as material links, have a look at my instructables here - www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Remote-Controlled-Floor-Cleaning-Rob/
These switches and electrical cable raceway are available on some electrical shops at much affordable price. The pvc pipe is available on hardware and sanitary shops.
Materials Used are: 2x Geared DC motors Electrical cable raceway 2x CD's Cloth that can easily wipe water. connecting wires. 2x DPDT switch or 4x two way switch Half cut PVC pipe Battery Procedure: 1. Attach both the motors at the end of Cable raceway(do refer to the video to get visual clarity). 2. Attach both CD's to the motor shafts. 3. Cut a cloth in circular shape and tie it to the CD's.. 4. Connect the Wires to the motor terminals. 5. Refer to the schematic in the video and make connections as shown. 6. The floor wiping robot is now ready. All the best :)
A towel should work fine, but what problem are you facing? If the CD is not able to rotate that is because the motor used is not able to provide enough torque or the power supplied to the motors is not enough. Try replacing the batteries with efficient high current batteries like Duracell (or Li-Ion cells found in powerbanks & Laptop Batteries).

I used a 6v 100rpm geared DC motor. If you need material links and additional info, have a look at my instructables here- www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Remote-Controlled-Floor-Cleaning-Rob/
I used to do that in my earlier videos but people advised differently and also one already sees the finished product in the thumbnail, then only clicks it to watch the tutorial video.
I dont know who these people where and how they explained why it must not be in the beginning, but they where wrong... to see the thing even for 2 seconds would really help. Thats what I think at least. And I love these kind of videos, but yeah, dont really like the missing part of the full product in the beginning. Look around on other similar channels - some have it, some dont.
As can be seen in the schematic, since the motors are connected in "+ -" and "- +" configuration, all you need to do is connect a red LED in parallel to one motor and green LED in parallel to other motor. Now when you will make the robot move only one LED will glow at a time, but the direction of motor can only be known after testing practically. Test it on your circuit and do leave a comment if it works or not.
how could you dislike this? The amount of effort he puts in his videos is awesome! :D
Thanks a lot :)
Very cool. I’m going to give this a shot, but maybe with a little more power, bigger motors and some weight on the mop end for stability. I love this! Great video, thanks.
Thanks..I am glad you like it..:)

You are amazing bro
Thank's bro good one
great job boy you made it
Thanks a lot :)
Thanks
nice projects very awesome and keep it up
Thanks a lot :)
Can u plz say tht how does it work ?? How it move forwrd n backward like tht

For making great video
so good I like it so mulch
Thanks a lot :)
very good video
It's nice
Can i use any kind of DC geared motor? Even if it doesnt look like the one you've used in the video..would it still work??
And also, do i need to make that Li-Ion cell holder??what is it's purpose?
Yes, any geared DC motor can be used and there is no need to make the li-ion battery holder. Use the batteries according to the power requirements of your motor.
where you buy that motor
wow, good idea 😍
we tried making your product . yes the motor and the CD does move but once it is placed down on the floor. The motor stops, what can I do to fix it??
There are two reasons for this, either the power supplied by the batteries you are using is not sufficient for the motors or the motors used in the project are not able to provide enough torque.
Try to increase the supplied power to the circuit and the motors might work well.
Thanx a lot
You are welcome :)
very super
Plzz can you tell me one thing more that a simple DC toy motor can be used in place of this geared motors
Actually I havn't tried with normal DC motors, however i don't think that those motors will be able to provide sufficient torque for the device to move well. If you try it from normal toy DC motors, do share your experiences.
awesome idea!
Thank You :)
And for joining wires with switches you used hot soldering iron na?
The hole making iron and this are same or different?
It is a same soldering iron. After making a hole, you may need to file the soldering iron bit to remove the burnt plastic over the bit.
We can use simple moter
Yes, you can but it will not have enough required torque.
the video was cool
that's so cool!
very good
Nice
can u tell more about the switches
These are simple two way switches connected in pairs to form a DPDT so as to be able to reverse the direction of motors.
hey can you tell me what else switches can be used in place of toggle switches cause its so expensive
Well..you can also use DPDT switches also, that will give you much more control over the robot as you might have read in the video description.
However, these toggle switches are not costly, I bought them for Rs.10 each from a local shop.
Omg I want to make it!!!
but I'm a beginner, may you explain better the electronic part?
I love your creations
Thanks for appreciating my work :)

super
is it ok to use 9v battery to make the two dc gears motors work? thank you.
Yes, it will work well with a good quality 9v battery that can provide atleast 500mA of current.
GJ BRO
Thanks :)
first like and comment nice
+Ahmed Saleh Thank you..:)
+GOODTECH - Creativity and Science welcome :-)
very nice
Thank You :)
Wat r d advantages of dus ??
If we don't have soldering what should we do to attach the wire to the dc motor
You can just twist the wire around the motor connectors and secure the connection with glue.
what things you have used please tell me
The materials needed are:
2x geared DC motor
Electrical cable raceway
2x CDs
Wiping cloth
Connecting wires
PVC pipe for remote control

i think not only you can, but you will make it so beautyfull and full of leds
happy.birthday
where these type of motor are selling
6v geared DC motor.
what is the volt of the dc motor???
6v each
all cool but - please FIST show what you are building - the result! And then start building...
I used to do that in my earlier videos but people advised differently and also one already sees the finished product in the thumbnail, then only clicks it to watch the tutorial video.
I dont know who these people where and how they explained why it must not be in the beginning, but they where wrong... to see the thing even for 2 seconds would really help.

GOODTECH - Creativity and Science Can I use an ordinary dc motor?
I want it on the robot
which means that when the robot goes forward the red LED will glow and when it move backwards the green LED will glow .
As can be seen in the schematic, since the motors are connected in "+ -" and "- +" configuration, all you need to do is connect a red LED in parallel to one motor and green LED in parallel to other motor.
