LecturerDr. Rob Deaves(Senior Principal Engineer of Dyson, Visiting Professor of Imperial College London)

Abstract

The lecture will start with the ‘who’, ‘why’ and ‘what’ of the presentation:

   ‘who’ is the Visiting Professor?

   ‘why’ is he giving the lecture? 

   ‘what’ is he going to talk about?

The presentation is divided into two main parts: 

(i) an overview of main sub-systems of mass market, commercially available robotic vacuum cleaner, the Dyson 360Heurist

(ii) a review of robotic elements of the product. 

It is emphasised that the primary function is ‘cleaning’, coupled with a number of support functions including: UI, power system and robotics. A more detailed look at the robotic components of the robot will follow including the traction, sensors and SW/HW architecture; along with how the performance of the 360Heurist is measured.   

To conclude future work is presented including how AI will be included and a Q &A session.
