Need for Vision Sensing Dimension in Modern Manual-Controlled Vacuum Cleaners

Abstract

Up to this day, many cost-effective vision systems have been successfully used in various domains (such as manufacturing, human machine interaction, robotics, automotive and so on) to provide a new sensing dimension of the working environment. However, there are no such systems implemented for modern manual-controlled vacuum cleaners. The most important usability aspects of integrating such a sensing dimension to modern vacuum cleaners have been explored in this paper, along-with a trivial implementation, to assure the portability and compactness of the cleaning appliances.
