This article contains how we can improve the robotic vacuum cleaners (RVC) sensing of
surrounding. To improve the sensing capabilities of the robotic vacuum clear, the designer
propose an assumption that the major structures of an indoor environment are rectilinear. This
structures can be represented by perpendicular lines and sets of parallel lines. Then they create
an algorithm that uses this to map the environment thus creating the complete coverage that
can precisely position. The simulation and experiments shows that this method guarantees
complete coverage.
