- The MopBot Cleaning Robot – An EPS@ISEP 2020 ProjectPublication . Tuluc, Corina; Verberne, Frederique; Lasota, Szymon; Almeida, Tomás de; Malheiro, Benedita; JUSTO, Jorge; Ribeiro, Cristina; Silva, Manuel F.; Ferreira, Paulo; Guedes, PedroWaste is one of the biggest problems on Earth today. In the spring of 2020, a team of students enrolled in the European Project Semester at Instituto Superior de Engenharia decided to contribute with the design of an ethically and sustainability-oriented autonomous cleaning robot named MopBot. The project started with the research on similar solutions, ethics, marketing and sustainability to define a concept and create a functional, ethical and sustainability driven design, including the complete control system. Finally, given the undergoing pandemic, the operation of the MopBot was simulated using CoppeliaSim. MopBot is a medium-sized vacuum cleaner, with two vertical brushes, intended to clean autonomously large areas inside buildings such as shopping malls or corridors. It is shipped with a sustainable packaging solution which can be re-purposed as a disposal box for electrical components.
