Pulito and the dFlex

A very clever use of the dFlex in the new Pulito: a floor cleaning robot.

Over the summer we installed hardwood flooring – which needs constant sweeping and cleaning .    What to do…  What to do…  Well, most of us would just sweep it, right?  Some of us might even go buy a Roomba.  But, then again, some of us build something to do it for them.  Why?  Because we can…

Pulito (Italian for ‘clean’) is simply put, a sweeper robot. Much like a Swiffer and Roomba combined.  The intent was to build a robot that could navigate around sweeping hard surface floors, stay away from carpeted areas,  make its way under our couches and seek out a docking station when the battery runs low.

You can see a video of how the dFlex works on the Pulito below.
