The first step is to determine what features the robot will offer based on others available and on the market and consumer needs.
As an essential feature, our equipment has to clean the pool floor because this characteristic is available in all pool-cleaning robots.
However, on second thought, if the owner has to clean the walls by himself, he will not be inclined to buy this equipment, so the pool wall cleaning is an important feature too. Besides, since the customer looks for convenience, the equipment must also be autonomous.
Thus, only these few requirements guide our project.
Pool floor cleaning will demand brushes and pool wall cleaning will need a floater. The robot will also need a pump and a filter. For autonomy, the robot will require some sensors and some control devices.
