        abstract = {With the rapid advancement of smart home technologies, autonomous cleaning systems have become an essential component of modern living environments. However, conventional robotic cleaning devices often face challenges in efficient navigation, incomplete area coverage, and limited adaptability to dynamic surroundings. This research presents a 360-Degree Robot Mapping and Cleaning System, an intelligent solution designed to enhance cleaning efficiency through comprehensive environmental perception and adaptive navigation.
The proposed system integrates multiple sensing modalities, including LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, infrared modules, and visual inputs, to construct a real-time 360-degree spatial map of the environment. A Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approach is employed to enable precise positioning and continuous map updating. The navigation framework utilizes path planning algorithms combined with obstacle detection and avoidance techniques to ensure complete surface coverage with minimal redundancy.
Additionally, the system incorporates data fusion methods to combine inputs from various sensors, improving mapping accuracy and operational reliability. Cleaning operations are optimized using adaptive control strategies that adjust suction power and movement patterns based on detected surface conditions. A user-friendly interface allows monitoring and control via a web or mobile platform.
By combining intelligent mapping, efficient navigation, and adaptive cleaning mechanisms, the proposed system demonstrates significant improvements in coverage, time efficiency, and energy utilization. This work contributes to the development of next-generation autonomous cleaning robots capable of delivering reliable and scalable smart cleaning solutions.},
