This video shows a robot cleaning a messy room. There are no sound in the video because i wanted to show the viewers what the robot is thinking while cleaning a messy room.

In 2011, a prominent AI University made a video on youtube explaining to people how difficult it was to build a robot to clean a messy room. Take his word for it, it is very difficult to build a robot to clean a messy room.

In 2012, the US government funded the robot challenge to invite Universities and Technology companies to design and build a robot that can clean a messy room. All major Universities and Tech companies are involved in this robot challenge. Their goal is to build robots to do mundane human tasks, such as climb a ladder or open a door.

In this video, i show people how the robot thinks while he is doing cleaning chores. If you analyze the robot's thoughts, it would be very difficult to build this robot using machine learning.

For example, if a telephone was on the floor and it was disconnected and scattered, the robot needs to have vast knowledge about telephones before it can place the telephone in it's proper place. The first task is to know where the telephone belongs. The robot can either use common sense or commands from a person to know where to place the telephone. Next, the robot has to understand how the telephone works. He needs to know that the handle must be connected to the telephone box and the cable line has to be connected from the telephone to the phone line in the wall. Other things must be considered as well, such as accessibility, the positioning of the telephone, placement of wires, and so forth.

Sometimes cleaning a room is like making an artwork because the robot has to consider the composition of the room, where to put items so the colors in the room are balanced out, and to stack up items to make them look organized, etc. Thus, cleaning a room is like making an artwork. The robot wants to make the room look nice and neat and appealing to the eyes of family members and guests.

One more thing worth noting. The robot's conscious activates non-perfect english. What this means is that some instructions given by the robot's conscious are just gibberish and chaotic words. For example, the robot's conscious might activate this command:

1. get bag put bag in baby's room.

Perfect english would be:

2. I want you to get the red bag from the sofa and put it in the baby's room.

The robot's conscious activates minimal words and based on these words, the robot will know what to do next. If you look at all my videos, the robot's conscious activates broken english to do things. The voice in the robot's mind doesn't really care about grammar structure.
