Abstract
This project focuses on the development of a "Tile Grout Filling Robot,"
designed to automate the process of filling tile gaps with grout. The robot,
constructed from a small wooden box with two front wheels and rounded
metal supports at the back, includes a grout container and a mechanism for
precise grout application. It autonomously follows tile gaps using a combination
of sensors, including IR, laser, and camera modules, to ensure accurate
grout placement. The robot is controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to
an Arduino Uno, with movement powered by stepper motors. Testing was
conducted on 40cm x 40cm tiles with 1-2 cm gaps, achieving satisfactory
grout filling results. This innovation promises to reduce worker strain, time,
and injury risks associated with manual grout application
