Robo-Sweeper: Bionics based Unmanned Sweeper Platform

The autonomous driving system is becoming an important part of the smart city, and unmanned sweeper for a specific area is an important application field of autonomous driving technology, which makes low-cost and reliable unmanned sweeper an important technology that the industry needs to develop. Based on the bionic structure, we propose an unmanned cleaning system platform solution, which uses embedded artificial intelligence to empower traditional cleaning equipment. This method realizes the unmanned upgrade without changing the important structure of the traditional cleaning equipment, which reduced the development and production cost of the unmanned sweeper. In this paper, we first adopted the bionic structure on the hardware, which highly integrates the controller and the sensor to reduce the cost of unmanned transformation for sweepers. Secondly, the AUTOSAR software architecture is adopted on the software, which enhances the reliability of the system software. Thirdly, the man-vehicle driving method is adopted to support manual driving and remote control, which improves the usability of the unmanned sweeper.
