Jell Balls is a new cleaner appliance to hoover up all the dust using a jell surface tension principle.

 

 

Stage1- My Concept

 

Modern robot cleaners are not able to clean all the dust in cracks and angular corners in a house. So, in this project, I try to design a new robot cleaner to make up for this weakness with more innovative, more interesting and more future-oriented way. I have designed new cleaner appliance Jell Balls.
When it doesn’t operate, the viscosity liquid is together. However, when it works, the 8 nano- robots in gelatin pull a certain amount of liquid and consequently 8 round-shaped Jell Ball are created. At the same time, these balls rolled out of the main body and then they soak up all the dust in the room thoroughly. These Jell Balls soak things up which are smaller than them but they are not able to soak up bigger one such as larger walls, floors and furniture. After these Jell Balls soak up a certain amount of dust, the main body pulls these balls. When these balls are gathered in the main body, the surface tension is stopped and the gelatins are also gathered. At the same time, the dust and dirt in gelatin are collected in a dust bag. The users just throw away this dust bag after cleaning.
The benefits of this product are followed. First, it can save time and effort eightfold as the exiting robot cleaner can roll out 8 jell balls in the house at once. Second, it can clean every corner of the house because it is small and its form can be changed easily. Last, it can clean watery places like the bathroom because the gelatin does not react with water at all.

 

 

One day, I thought, “If multiple vacuum cleaners are used at the same time, wouldn’t it complete the cleaning much faster?” Then I thought of a vacuum cleaner with multiple ‘baby robots’ mounted in the main body. In my imagination, these multiple ‘baby robots’ were dispatched at the same time for cleaning and came back after completion. I laid out my ideas through a sketch. The first sketch of robot vacuum cleaner that I attached describes them. When I looked at the completed sketch, it was obvious to me that the robot vacuum cleaner will boost efficiency. However, I figured that more interesting and fun structure or materials would be better. The current sketch has a strong mechanic feel like a robot. Plus, it will jack up the price and energy consumption compared to existing vacuum cleaners. So I kept thinking about how I could improve it and one day, I saw water drops on the table and thought, “Round liquid would gather, separate and move easily.” So I thought about materials for jell component that could carry out cleaning by adding viscosity, and designed a main body that could contain and operate this jelly.

The concept of cleaning using jell balls is no changed. But , I studied concrete structure and function based on research and insight. I researched design of Jell Balls, worked computer Rendering also. Develop the concept.

 

 

Concept

 

I try to design a new robot cleaner to make up for this weakness with more innovative, more interesting and more

future-oriented way. I have designed new robot cleaner to hoover up all the dust using jell surface tension principle. It's Jell Balls
these Jeall Balls rolled out of the product and then they soak up all the dust in the room thoroughly. so, it can save time and effort eightfold than the exiting robot cleaner. and, it can clean every corner of the house because it is small and its form can be changed easily. Also, it can clean watery places like the bathroom and kitchen because the gelatin does not react with water at all. So, I decide bathroom for computer rendering main background.

 

 

Develop

 

I tried to identify the problems with the jell balls that I came up with. It based on Consumer insight and research

 

First of all, I had to find a structure that would allow jell balls to be easily scattered around from the main body and gather back. My initial idea during Stage 1 was putting jell balls on a simple disk, and I needed to come up with a more concrete structure. If jell balls are gathered on a simple disk, then jell could run down even with a small shock, as well as when the main body is placed on the tilted floor. To solve the problem, I mounted a flexible. Since this flexible container has a shape that is caved in when it is not in operation, the jell balls remain gathered without being scattered outwards. Once operation starts, the jell balls are split into 8 units, and the flexible container swells upward. Then the 8 divided jell balls will be rolling outwards because a slope is created. After cleaning, the jell balls will easily gather onto the main body because of the slope.

 

Second, I worked on a structure that would filter out dust collected by the jell balls in the main body. Only foreign substances have to be filtered out, once jell balls gather back after cleaning. Since jell balls with a structure that only absorbs dust cannot discharge dust, I needed a structure that would only extract dust from jell balls in the body. if a tiny niche is created in the flexible container, jells and foreign substances would be absorbed. Then only the foreign substances will remain in the main body and the jells will be sent back out of the niche. It allows the main body to filter out only foreign substances. Plus, the niche allows the flexible container to become even more flexible and swell up and down easily.

 

It was quite challenging to find a model that would match jell balls. I mostly applied round shapes that are compatible with “balls.” Jell Ball’s Design shows you rounded and curved shapes. Jell Ball motivation Rounded design main body, which would constitute the main shape.

 

 

 

How the Jell Balls again back to the Main Body

 

I researched specific ways how the balls find their cleaning target and the way back to the main body. First, I looked for the technology that can make Jell Balls to change their direction and move around by themselves. Finally, I found the ‘Sphero Ball’ that is on sale in the city. The ‘Sphero Ball’ uses Gyro Sensor and a pendulum and makes its own body roll. If the pendulum is lean the ball roll over to the direction of the pendulum by the weight. When the ball gets the a course the wheels inside of the ball add propulsion to roll the ball faster. It can be managed by Smartphone because it is linked with a application of Smartphone. The nano robot inside of the Jell Ball can change the direction and get back to the main body with a pendulum like the Sphero Ball. Also Jell Ball has a GPS and a sensor that can recognize their own location and distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How the Jells are attached to the nano robot.

 

I found ‘Thinking Putty’ while I was researching variety materials and new technologies on the youtube. Because the putty has an element of magnet, it follows around a magnet when the magnet near by. And the Think Putty get around together if you put magnet on them when they spread around. When the Nano Robot starts working it gets electromagnetic force and the Jell Ball which has magnetic element attach to it at the same time. Thinking Putty is a powerful magnetic Putty but if it is liquid type like Jell that has better fluidity it will get a function of cleaning by the surface tension.

 

 

 

 

The Jell Ball’s Unique Cleaning System

 

Because Jell Ball is a round ball, it doesn’t have fixed direction to clean of the room’s structure. The Jell Ball’s special Cleaning System devised because of the characteristic. The 8 Jell Balls spread around when it starts working. When the Jell Balls reach an object like a wall or a furniture very first time, it recognizes the distance and location of itself to the object and transmits the gained informations to the body. The body analyzes them and makes rough sketch of the place. When the sketch gets done, it calculates routes and speed to clean the place, entirely. It makes a kind of cleaning strategy. The Main body sends the ‘strategy’ to each of the Jell Balls and they start cleaning. The image explains this system more easily.
