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

. Authors believe that it ishigh time that the discussed surface parameters, tools, filters and mathematical modeling ofmethods be included in all design, manufacturing and capstone project courses (freshmenthrough senior year). A better educated workforce would be able to contribute significantlyhigher to quality tools and advanced metrology. It is an evolutionary process, i.e., standards keepconstantly changing; however, it must transition smoothly into the curriculum. It is imperativethat course instructors keep up to date with the latest standards, and implement them as shortinteractive modules. In an ongoing effort, based upon the contents of this paper, the authors havemade several instructional modules on surface finish. These modules
