Whilst Polyomino tiling theory has been extensively studied as a branch of research in mathematics, its application has been largely confined to multimedia, graphics and gaming domains. In this paper, we present a novel application of Tromino tiling theory, a class of Polyomino with three cells in the context of a reconfigurable floor cleaning robot, hTromo. The developed robot platform is able to automatically generate a global tiling set required to cover a defined space while leveraging on the Tromino tiling theory. Specifically, we validated the application of five Tromino tiling theorems with our hTromo robot. Experiments performed clearly demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach resulting in very high levels of area coverage performance in all considered experimental cases. This paper also presents the system architecture of our hTromo robot and a detailed description of the five tiling theorems applied in this study.
