        abstract = {Maintaining clean indoor floors is a fundamental hygiene requirement, yet doing so manually demands considerable time and physical effort. This paper presents CleanSight 2.0, a low-cost autonomous floor cleaning robot developed for scrubbing indoor surfaces without human involvement. The system is built around an ESP32 DevKit as the primary controller, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for real-time obstacle detection, an L298N dual H-bridge motor driver for independent wheel control, and a dedicated scrubber motor that keeps the cleaning brush in continuous rotation. Experimental evaluation on tile, marble, and cement floors demonstrated an average cleaning efficiency of 1.09 m²/min and approximately 1.9 hours of battery runtime under normal operating conditions. The proposed design proves that reliable autonomous cleaning can be achieved with accessible, low-cost components, making it viable for residential spaces, classrooms, and small commercial areas as well as an effective educational platform in robotics and embedded systems.},
