An intelligent cleaning robot for indoor environments is proposed. Traditional cleaning robots do not have access to real-time information about the room’s status. Hence, efficient dirt detection is not possible. We solve this problem through dirt detection using an external camera that can communicate with the robot. The external camera detects the dirt, and notifies the information to the cleaning robot. The robot can then start cleaning the room. The proposed method enables cleaning robots to have an access to a birds-eye view of the environment for efficient cleaning. This is very efficient compared to traditional approaches used in cleaning robots.
