Robotic Bathtub Cleaner

About This Work

The main unit floats on the water and circles along the inside of the bathtub, cleaning the side walls with its attached brushes.
As the bathwater drains and the water level gradually drops, the device keeps circling, removing dirt all the way down to the bottom of the tub.
When the cleaner reaches the bottom, a sensor on its underside detects contact with the floor of the tub, and the robot cleans the bottom surface to complete the process.
After taking the robot out, simply rinse away the loosened dirt with the shower, and you’re done.
