Problem

To keep residential areas clean and neat, lots of tools are used. Most of the tools are operated by humans, but some new tools can do some tasks autonomous. Can't this be done by one autonomous robot? We think the most common tasks can be performed by an autonomous robot.

Problem statement

How can tasks of maintaining residential areas be combined into one (modular) robot?

Objectives

• The system must have the ability to do tasks, like lawn mowing and trash picking
• The system must be able to go autonomous to the place, where the task has to be performed
• The system has to give a warning to the owner in case of technical disorder
• The system has to ask for help of human if needed

Users and other stakeholders

• Municipalities: responsible to maintain the residential area
• Citizens: clean and safe neighborhood
• People that are maintaining the neighborhood: can focus on other tasks, that currently would not be done
• Society as a whole
• Enterprises that specialize in maintenance of public grounds
