RoboVac - Ascender
(2022) In Diploma work IDEL01 20221Industrial Design
- Abstract
- For my bachelor thesis, I wanted to explore and
develop a new kind of robot vacuum cleaner. A robot
vacuum cleaner that can climb stairs. Not that there is a
big need for it for us to function as human beings. But
to make the already established robot vacuums go even
further. Simply to make time for more important
moments of the user’s life.
During my project, I researched and evaluated
different methods for a robot vacuum to climb up a stair.
Experimenting with sketches and mockups to find a functioning, climbing mechanism, without overcomplicated
electronics.
As the project went along I learned that a technical innovation might not be as easy to finalize in such a short
amount of time, as I had previously... (More) - For my bachelor thesis, I wanted to explore and

But.
Everything came together in a visualized model with a
tech pack to describe all components within. A full-scale
and semi-working prototype was also made to back up
my findings and confirm the functionality of the
mechanism. (Less)
