2. TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Clean Cruise is a state-of-the-art home cleaning solution that utilizes cutting-edge drone technology to provide
efficient and effective cleaning.
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
The technology behind Clean Cruise includes:
► Clean Cruise features a high-powered suction system that can easily pick up dirt, dust, and debris from any
surface.
► Clean Cruise is equipped with multiple sensors that allow it to detect obstacles and avoid collisions. This
ensures that the drone can navigate around furniture and other objects without causing damage.
► Clean Cruise uses advanced algorithms to navigate around the home and ensure efficient cleaning. The drone
can move in a variety of patterns, including straight lines and circular motions, to cover all areas of the room.
► Clean Cruise comes with a rechargeable battery that provides up to 30 minutes of continuous cleaning on a
single charge. The battery is easily replaceable and can be charged using a standard wall outlet.
► Clean Cruise can be controlled using a smartphone app that connects to the drone via Wi-Fi. This feature
allows users to start and stop cleaning, adjust settings, and view cleaning progress anywhere.
► Clean Cruise is equipped with a HEPA filter that captures allergens and other small particles. This makes it a
great choice for people with allergies or asthma.
NOVELTY
Clean Cruise offers several unique and innovative features that set it apart from other home cleaning solutions on
the market. While traditional vacuum cleaners and cleaning tools are designed for flat surfaces and struggle to
reach hard-to-access areas, Clean Cruise is a drone-based cleaning solution that can easily navigate around
furniture and other obstacles, reaching high ceilings, corners, and under furniture with ease. Other cleaning
drones on the market may offer similar features, but Clean Cruise's obstacle avoidance sensors, advanced
navigation algorithms, and Wi-Fi connectivity make it a superior choice for efficient and effective cleaning.
Additionally, Clean Cruise's HEPA filter captures fine dust particles and allergens, making it a great choice for
people with respiratory issues. Overall, Clean Cruise's unique combination of drone technology, obstacle
avoidance, and advanced features make it a novel and highly effective home cleaning solution that sets it apart
from similar products on the market.
CURRENT STATUS
Cleaning drone growth and improvement are greatly aided by technology, which makes it possible for these
machines to operate more effectively and efficiently. The following are some justifications for why technology is
crucial to the creation of cleaning drones:
► Enhanced cleaning abilities: Cleaning drones can detect and identify dirt, trash, and other things more
precisely and clean more efficiently than ever before, thanks to sophisticated sensors, imaging, and
machine learning technology.
► Efficiency and productivity are boosted because cleaning drones can operate for longer periods of time
and carry out more difficult cleaning jobs because of improved power management, longer battery life,
and higher automation and autonomy.
► Improved safety: Cleaning drones can work more safely and lower the danger of mishaps or injuries during
cleaning operations with the help of more advanced communication and control systems.
► Cost savings: Cleaning drones may speed up and improve the efficiency of cleaning operations, reducing
the need for manual labour and allowing businesses and organisations to save a lot of money.
► Environmental advantages: Drone cleaning techniques that use less water and cleaning compounds than
conventional cleaning techniques positively influence the environment.
► Therefore, technology is essential to the growth and development of cleaning drones since it makes them
more effective and efficient while also enhancing safety, lowering costs, and limiting environmental
impact.
3. VALUE PROPOSITION
Clean Cruise's value proposition revolves around the provision of an innovative and time- and labour-saving house
cleaning solution. With its revolutionary drone technology, Clean Cruise is able to efficiently clean regions that are
typically difficult or impossible to access with conventional cleaning equipment. It is a superior option for efficient
and effective cleaning because of its obstacle avoidance sensors, smart navigation algorithms, and Wi-Fi
connectivity. In addition, the HEPA filter collects small dust particles and allergens, making Clean Cruise an
excellent option for anyone with respiratory concerns. Clean Cruise is a practical and convenient house cleaning
solution that provides consumers with significant time savings, superior cleaning performance, and enhanced air
quality.
UNMET NEEDS
Currently, there is no effective way to clean high ceilings and air vents without expensive equipment or hiring
professionals. Due to high ceilings that are difficult to reach, many commercial spaces and households struggle to
keep a clean environment. Convenience, minimal manual labour and low repeat cost. Hard-to-reach cleaning of
ac vents is made easy with drone ceiling cleaner. Providing more effective, safe and cost-effective cleaning
methods.
PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY
The proposed technology for Clean Cruise is a small, autonomous drone equipped with sophisticated sensors and
algorithms meant to efficiently and effectively clean hard-to-reach regions of homes and businesses. The drone
cleans surfaces with suction and HEPA filters, and its 360-degree cleaning coverage enables it to clean locations
that would be difficult or impossible to reach with conventional cleaning equipment. The drone is operated by a
mobile app or voice commands, and its sensors for avoiding obstacles ensure safe and effective cleaning.
Advanced algorithms allow the drone to optimise its cleaning course and avoid previously cleaned regions,
maximising its cleaning efficiency. The proposed technology for Clean Cruise promises to make cleaning quicker,
simpler, and more comprehensive while decreasing the need for physical labour and toxic chemicals.

4. MARKET
India is traveling and focusing more on cleaning. Using our product can be easy with minimum power consumption
and labor power. Our main objective lies in simplifying the cleaning process as simple as possible. Drones can
clean all the ty[pe of building walls where it is challenging to reach gutters; they can also clean that any human
cannot; a drone cleans nicely.
And also, these drones are taking a dangerous cleaning job to make cleaning buildings, walls, and windows are
safer for everyone; rather than requiring many people, you only need one drone and a person piloting the drone;
it not only safer, it takes less time to clean isn’t a lengthy process to move from one place to another place.
We are choosing this product because there will be high demand for this cleaning drone which is used for Cleaning
walls and ceiling fans in Educational institutions, Restaurants, Hospitals, Villas, Apartments, Function halls,
Resorts, Shopping malls, Theatres, Temples, warehouses and factories, etc. these are all required so many people
to come and clean it which is needed much time. It also consumes labor costs, more labor, etc.
Because in all these places people will be there all the time at different timings and sometimes sudden events
may also occur at that time its tough to clean everything within 1,2 days gap.

6. COMPETITION
Kathleen Misovic, CEO and self-described nerd claims humanitarian purpose for founding the drone technology
business.
New techniques and tools, such as cleaning and disinfecting drones, have become popular due to the coronavirus
outbreak. According to Andrew Ashur, co-founder and CEO of Lucid Drone Technologies, the goal of developing
the company was not primarily to eradicate germs. It was worker safety instead.
"We observed workers attempting to clean multi-story properties while clinging to the sides of buildings using
lifts, ladders, and scaffolds. We set out to construct drones that could clean above ground and relocate workers
to the ground because we were horrified that no one had discovered a safer way to clean these structures by
utilising existing technology, said Ashur. "Our drones allow us to live in a future where no one has to suffer harm
or lose their life while cleaning tall structures," the company claims.
Ashur was always interested in construction, which was useful when he assisted in establishing Lucid Drone
Technologies in the fall of 2017. The business makes drones for cleaning and sanitising.
