現代生活中的助手-掃地機器人介面設計

Abstract

本文藉「介面設計」課程中，從課程中學習需求探究，明確設計窗口後，實 現規格過程中探討彼此間之介面關係的系統介面圖，包括硬體、軟體及韌體等， 及介面控制過程訊號流實現探討的系統運作流程圖等；本組期末報告以探討現代 掃地機器人的技術演進、設計考量以及未來可能的發展趨勢為題。 在掃地機器人領域，歷史上經歷過多次技術革新，以時間線的方式追溯了一 些歷史過程以及目前市場上常見的品牌如 iRobot、Roborock、小米等。而現代掃 地機器人的智能連接功能成為趨勢，透過手機應用程式或聲控技術實現遠程控制 和監控，提供使用者更便捷的清潔體驗。 在硬體方面，闡述了掃地機器人模組的結構，包括電源管理、馬達驅動器、 感測、無線連接性、控制單元和人機界面等元件的功能和作用。介紹了技術和硬 體特點，如自動拖布清洗、感測器應用、路徑規劃方法以及市面上 APP 功能。 同時進一步研究了掃地機器人的兩種清潔路徑方式：隨機覆蓋式和基於 AI 路徑規劃式，以及 SLAM 技術在路徑規劃中的應用，並探討了市面上 APP 功能 的多樣性，如手機遙控、地圖建構、AI 識別、清潔紀錄等，強調了這些功能對 提升使用者體驗的重要性。 總括而言，本文分析了現代掃地機器人的技術和設計，提供了一個全景式的 視角，使本組對這一領域的演進有更深入的了解。且對於系統的設計開發流程， 實現過程探究的系統介面，更能從理論中體會實務實現的技巧。

This paper applied the "Interface Design" course to explore the learning requirements from the system. After clarifying the design specifications, the system interface diagram of the interface relationship between each other is discussed in the process of implementing the specifications, including hardware, software, firmware, etc., and the interface control process. System operation flow chart for signal flow implementation discussion, etc.; The final report of our group is titled to discuss the technological evolution, design considerations and possible future development trends of modern robot vacuums. In the field of robot vacuums, there have been several technological innovations throughout history. The article traces some of these historical processes in a timeline format and discusses common brands in the current market, such as iRobot, Roborock, and Xiaomi. The emerging trend in modern robot vacuum is the integration of smart connectivity features, allowing remote control and monitoring through smartphone applications or voice control, providing users with a more convenient cleaning experience. On the hardware front, the article elaborates on the structure of robot vacuum modules, encompassing components such as power management, motor drivers, sensors, wireless connectivity, control units, and human-machine interfaces. It introduces technical and hardware features, including mop cleaner, sensor applications, path planning methods, and functionalities available in mobile applications. Furthermore, the article delves into two cleaning path methods employed by robot vacuums: random coverage and AI-based path planning. It explores the application of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology in path planning and discusses the diversity of features in mobile applications, such as remote control, map construction, AI recognition, and cleaning records. The importance of these features in enhancing user experience is emphasized. In summary, this article analyzes the technology and design of modern robot vacuum, providing a comprehensive perspective that enables readers to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution in this field. In addition, for the system design and development process and the system interface to realize the process exploration, we can better understand the practical implementation skills from the theory.
