Amigo: A Smart Helper

Robots have become an integral part of 21st century due to their excessive use in industries, household, hotels and offices. A new concept of using a robot as a friend and personal assistant along with cleaning facility is been introduced here. There are many personal assistants available in the market like Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and for cleaning purpose iRobot’s Roomba is there but when we club these two things together in a very cost effective manner so versatility is increased and no need of buying two separate things. It can also act as a friend for alone people as it is intelligent robot to generate the reply from the voice based request received using some AI algorithms and NLP. Basic Objective is to enable machine to perform such a intellectual tasks as decision making, problem solving, perception, understanding, also human communication. It aims to act as a friend who can think rationally and help when needed. Proposed system will be capable of activities like acting as chat-bot, reading books, playing music, making a call, capturing images. Cleaning is also an important factor for healthy living and hygiene but due to lack of time it is being neglected. Hence we can have this objective as automatic and intelligent automatic floor cleaner having two facilities like vacuum cleaner and floor cleaner with a mop attached to it. There are options available but those are costly to buy so the main aim to build a robot who can act as a friend and cleaner to the user. Also for extensive cleaning we are using intrusion detection system to avoid the robot failure and cover more floor area to clean.
