Abstract: This paper presents the design and development of a cost-effective autonomous floor cleaning robot based on the ESP32 microcontroller. The system integrates obstacle detection, navigation, vacuum cleaning, and mopping functionalities into a single compact unit. Ultrasonic sensors enable real-time obstacle avoidance, while a grid-based navigation algorithm ensures efficient cleaning coverage. The robot can operate in both manual and autonomous modes using a mobile application interface developed on the Blynk IoT platform. Experimental results demonstrate effective performance in indoor environments with minimal human intervention. The proposed system offers an economical alternative to commercially available robotic cleaners.
