Abstract

While using automatic vacuum cleaners, users found dissatisfaction namely dust problem, obstacle problem, and narrow space problem. Therefore, the problems in this automatic vacuum cleaner must be fixed so that it can maximize user productivity. The methods that researchers will use to carry out this research include the participatory ergonomic which is a method for translating consumer needs into an optimal and solutive products by gain aspirations from users and stakeholders. The next method is Maynard Operation Sequence Technique which is a predetermined motion time method that aims to determine the standard time for doing work. There are also participatory usability and ergonomics methods that help this research. For the dust problem, researchers have looked for a solution to the problem, namely by adding SLAM and Artificial Intelligence logarithms to the automatic. For the narrow space problem, researchers have designed different nozzles for the automatic to use. For this exact problem, researchers have added a crevice nozzle to the automatic so that the automatic can insert suction in narrow areas such as the back of cupboards. Researchers created this feature so that users no longer need to bother cleaning dust from sofas, tables and other items in the user’s room.
