Abstract :
Over the years, there have been major developments in the field of robotics, the autonomous cleaning systems was another such advancement. The research paper presents the designing and optimization of the leg of the Smart Glass Cleaning Robot by using the Generative Design module. The main aim of the leg mechanism in a glass cleaning robot is to provide stability and mobility, ensuring the safe and effective operation of the robot on vertical or horizontal glass surfaces. This critical component is fundamental to the robot’s ability to adhere to glass, maintain equilibrium, and navigate while carrying out tasks. In this research paper, the author delves into the significance of the leg mechanism in smart glass cleaning robots, elaborating the component’s role in the efficiency, safety, complexity and precision of the cleaning process. Additionally, the author discusses the challenges associated with the design and potential future advancements in area, aiming to contribute to the ongoing development of glass cleaning robots. The exploration of various modules leads to a manifold reduction in the maintenance costs of the overall machinery.
