Hello EZ Robot! Meet Dusty, he is a omnibot torso and I currently have the choice of robbie at head or a omnibot done where you can see inside. He will handle a few basic functions and us made more simple than his big brother Jarvis.
- He can vacuum (which is loud) with power brush and impeller
- He can "sweep" nearly silent by running the power brush at a reduced voltage and a small DC blower providing low level auction. 3.dusty will have two germicidal bulbs ,.one facing downward to the floor and another behind intake fans that not only cool electronics but it pulls air through a Honeywell two stage carbon filter. 4.dusty has 4 build in filters foam pre filter , and 3 carbon filters.
- He will have a camera on pan tilt bracket. He will be controlled by Bluetooth or wifi.
- Long runtime , 2 x 12v 7ah batteries.
Any other suggestions guys?

Lol thanks for the first pun of the year . Happy new year!
Dusty being fitted for his vac pac.Something I am going to do different on dusty is seal the air vents and reroute the exhaust through the body so air gets sterilized and mildly filtered as well. Also I will trim about a inch deep into the case from top to bottom so his vac pac is smaller and more streamlined than Jarvis. The top of the vac will be aprox two inches from the top of the torso much lower than Jarvis vac pac.
Dusty gets parts that squeegee has like fluid tank, sprayers and Velcro removable pad behind the vacuum. I might also have sprayers in the side ext arms that are meant to reach under furniture and edges of the cabinets in the kitchen. So far the arms I have planned will use brushes and motors from roombas I bought from fred.
New mini pumps perfect for a small 1 liter liquid tank.Wow Josh, this looks really impressive. Dusty is going to be one awesome bot. Once you get him done you should patent him and approach some companies about building a True Cleaning Robot. I would much rather have one like Dusty than a Roomba. He's so much more personable. But I really do like the additions and changes.
He could do a little more than most cleaning robots lol. If I can get him to do windows hes a winner!
Ok so heres the power vacuum backpack.
First step! Remove this super weak excuse for a dust filter
Ah now thats better... next step is to tape off the outside and fill these slots with epoxy
Ok so now that the vents are filled I need to start planning the next step.
So the purpose if sealing the vents is to direct the vacuum exhaust into the torso to pass through a better filter and a UV light to kill germs , viruses and dust mites. Then a carbon filter will reduce recirculation if allergens and odors. Something I had a "ah ha!" Moment about is the now unused 10 volt battery pack. My idea is I could remove all the contents and use it to hold both the dust filter and UV light the Air will pass through. Because it already has a clasp it is easy to hold itself in place and also easy to remove. Any thoughts guys?
