We aren’t sure the reasoning behind the asymmetrical layout, but presumably the machine prefers making right turns.Ĭontrol is provided by an Arduino Mega and the ever-reliable HC-05 Bluetooth module. The right side of the robot has two sets of sensors, while the left side only gets one. The robot has four sets of ultrasonic range finders to detect walls and obstacles, though probably not in the positions you would expect. The final result looks a bit rough, but should give a bond that’s just as strong as the printed parts themselves. Once all the pieces were printed, a 3D pen was used to “weld” the sections together. The body of this rather concerned-looking robot was printed on a DMS DP5 printer, which is a neat trick as it only has a build platform of 200 mm x 200 mm. We can’t say how well it stacks up against the commercial equivalents from iRobot and the like, but it doesn’t look like it would be too hard to build one yourself to find out. The entire body of the vacuum was 3D printed, and all of the internal electronics are off-the-shelf modular components. After you’ve taken a moment to ponder the turn of phrase used in the title, take a look at this scratch-built robotic vacuum created by.
