Cleaning activities are considered as mundane tasks. These tasks though time-consuming and unpleasant, are essential for a hygienic lifestyle. This issue has been tackled before but they have come at a price, whether in the form of overconsumption of energy resources or prices of such products. Also, they only try to do either dust removal in the form of vacuum cleaning or mopping the floor, but not both. Reducing energy consumption and lowering expenses will help in the widespread usage of such automated alternatives. Combining the two forms of cleaning will help in increasing the versatility of the product. This paper outlines a solution to these issues through the development of a robot. This robot consists of a brush in the front which helps in the removal of dust and a set of mops that cleans the floor using disinfectant water. It can operate in an autonomous mode where it navigates through the room using ultrasonic sensors. It can alternatively be operated manually through the user's smartphone.
