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?

That's a good idea Josh,
Awesome ! Thankyou bret. I started it then....
First I cut tiny knotches in the corners to get a screwdriver into..
I repeated this with all four corners to get the case open without any more modification than the little corner knotches.
Vuala! The clasp mechanism still works and too can snuggly fit back together and be removed at any time. The battery pack literally fell out and I clipped the power leads off. Anyone need a 10 volt 2ah lithium battery? Free to a good homeI have a second battery pack that I could do this on and maybe do the same thing to Jarvis. Oooor I could keep it as a spare for Dusty. ANY ideas for the kind of filter I could buy? Or filter material to make custom filters? My best idea has been a three stage. First pass UV then through Carbon prefilter matt then through a electrostatic 700 micron filter made from a larger household style sheet. Does this generally sound effective?
i have used filter like that in my job for a special tester,so it should work OK,i think i used 4 stage filter also if you add more stages of filters ,suction is reduced
on removing a battery that is utrasonic welded like that one stick in hot water for awhile and mostly it will come off easy and they you can always dry the batteries,that s a trick from a company that does it sometimes
Your right about reducing suction with more filtration. I will be careful to not make it too restricted. Also the the unit ran at a little over 10 volts to to help compensate for the additional restriction of an allergen filter im running the motor at 12 volts. No worries on what the motor can handle. Its rated up to 18 volts.
Thankyou! ROBOTMAKER for sending me the Win Xp sp3 pro disc. Thats a awesome Christmas present I bet I will get plenty of use out of it.
the WINDOWS XP disc was never installed also
Ok here is a sketch. Take in mind this is NOT the whole filter system. The air is pulled into the acrylic canister where a 3 watt UV C bulb is shining directly into the canister. I am planning on having 2 of these bulbs focused in this area for plenty of sanitation power inside the dust bunny binThen step two... the carbon prefilter and 3M 300 micron filter catch finer dust particles before reaching the impeller of the vac pac motor.
Last step- 700 micro filters are placed over the vent holes and openings of the robots body to prevent recirculation of dust. Due to the uv sterilization and carbon filter the robot should emit very low amounts of odor from cleaning his home
Three planned modes for cleaning...
Silent... no blower running only 5.25 inch s7 fans and UV system both floor and floodlight at ceiling
Robo-whisper : uv system active , floodlight optional , brush running at 12v and impeller motor st 6 volts for reduced noice.
Performance mode : ideal for when no one is home the robo runs all systems at full power. Both vacuum , uv and pull through 5.25 inch lower torso fans refreshing air at a rate of 80 cfm cleaning a average rooms air every 2 to 4 hours for full exchange of air
Wet work options are being planned..... im open to suggestions
