In modern society, maintaining cleanliness is essential; however, conventional cleaning methods often prove inadequate in addressing both visible waste and effective sanitation. This limitation contributes to ongoing hygiene concerns, unpleasant odors, and potential health risks, particularly in environments affected by animal waste. To investigate this issue, structured observations were carried out by team members for 30 minutes each at two locations which are Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan and a residential home specifically in Lahad Datu. It was noted that animal waste accumulated rapidly, generating strong odors and discomfort for nearby individuals. To further understand user needs, interviews were conducted with three clients which were two 20-year-old students and a 56-year-old working adult. All three clients reported having busy schedules yet expressed a strong desire to maintain clean surroundings, highlighting a lack of effective tools for managing animal waste. These insights helped define the target clients as individuals with limited time who prioritize hygiene in their living or working environments. To address the identified problem, the team utilized Shapr3D to design a prototype, dedicating 22 hours over five days to master the software before completing the final design within a two-week timeframe. The resulting product is a circular robotic vacuum equipped with integrated sanitization capabilities, specifically engineered to efficiently clean and disinfect areas contaminated by animal waste. By combining automated cleaning with built-in sanitation, the team aims to offer a practical, time-saving solution for enhancing cleanliness in high-traffic and pet-friendly spaces.
