Engineering Department, Vaughn College, Flushing, NY Email: shouling.he@vaughn.eduABSTRACTIn this project, the Mechatronics Engineering students from the Department of Engineering andTechnology at a college in the northeastern region of the United States have developed aninnovative robotic vacuuming system. The system consists of two Omni-drive robots: a SlaveRobot (SR) and a Master Robot (MR). The SR works independently. It sweeps dust and dirt fromfloor surfaces, including the corners of a room, beneath cabinets, or behind tables and otherfurniture. Additionally, it sends information/data to the MR. The MR computes an efficient pathto vacuum dust and dirt in the sections of the room based on the information/mapping

Inorder to attract students to services, a recent trend in library outreach is gamification [12].Turning orientation or information literacy sessions into games not only entices students toparticipate, but also encourages them to “interact with information for problem solving anddiscovery-based learning when using the library to conduct research for class” [13]. Gamification and project-based learning are very common approaches to education inengineering. Since the engineering discipline is primarily an applied science, experiments andcompetitions challenge students to apply concepts learned in the classroom. Project-basedlearning develops valuable
