INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Vacuum cleaner is a home appliance that uses suction to clean carpets, floors, and

other surfaces. Using this product redefines what it means to be clean. Thus, it is much more

convenient to use plastic as the vacuum cleaner's main materials. Plastics is widely used

because it is affordable, lightweight, and durable. It facilitates the simple molding of different

parts and increases the vacuum cleaner's portability and maneuverability. Furthermore, plastic

does not rust or corrode, which is beneficial for appliances that handle moisture and debris.

Vacuum cleaner implementation is therefore desperately needed. which operates

independently of human intervention (Manasa M et al., 2021). Therefore, the dire need to

implement a vacuum cleaner is to be more essential in using for cleaning since it can be used

even when we are resting or doing something not causing our hectic schedule to be messed

up.

The objective of this project is to develop a new invention that can help individuals in

their daily lives. Caruum (automatic vacuum), which can have a great impact on modern

society. We want people to live in a convenient way. Caruum is a project that can help people

save time and effort when cleaning. This new invention where a mini moving car is equipped

with a vacuum on it, this is a automatic device that helps us clean. One of the earliest service

robots to become a part of everyday life was the robot vacuum cleaner. These robots need to

be inexpensive and useful in order to be widely used. (Hatice Doğan et al., 2022). Also, the

materials that we are going to use on this project are recyclable materials. Caruum is the best

choice for us because the cost of the materials is not that expensive. Individuals can save time

and effort by using the vacuum cleaner, which eliminates the need for human participation in

house cleaning. The vacuum cleaner effectively cleans the house while users may concentrate

on other chores thanks to automation of the cleaning process. In general, consumers can
benefit from the project's convenience, effectiveness, and time-saving features. The main goal

of the project is to give people a quicker and more effective way to clean their homes without

requiring human intervention. Through the utilization of automation, freeing up people's time

and energy for other worthwhile pursuits.

Statement of the Problem

The aim of this study is to design and develop a Caruum Plastikos cleaner.

Specifically, the research seeks to address the following:

1. What are the potential benefits of using a Caruum Plastikos cleaner using batteries

as the source of power or energy?

a. Efficiency

b. Affordability

c. Convenience

2. What are the advantages of vacuuming using plastic as the primary material?

a. Lightweight prototype

b. Long-term sustainability

c. Environment friendly

3. What kind of objects can a vacuum collect?

a. Dust

b. Strands of Hair

c. Small pieces of Paper and Candy Wrapper

4. What kind of surface can a vacuum run?

a. Tiled Floor

b. Rough Floor

c. Wet Floor
FORMULATION OF HYPOTHESIS

Null Hypothesis

Plastic bottles won't have any relevance to how well our vacuum cleaner works.

Alternative Hypothesis

Plastic bottles affect the long-term reliability and sustainability of the vacuum.

Polyethylene terephthalate, more commonly known as PET, and other plastics that break

down over time, especially when exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or harmful substances, are

often utilized for the production of plastic bottles. Plastic bottles used in vacuum cleaners

have a tendency to degrade, which might eventually compromise the vacuums performance

and dependability.

Significance of the Study

In this part, the researcher stated the importance of the improvised caruum plastikos

cleaner that may significantly beneficial to the environment, consumers, community, and the

future researchers.

Environment. This research study is a significant help for the environment as the plastics

will be recycled that will turn into an improvised vacuum cleaner.

Community. This study is a help for the community as it will provide a resourceful product

that is made up of plastics.

People. It will benefit people since vacuums can help them get rid of dirt and dust.
Students. The study will benefit the students as the vacuum cleaner is for the classroom. It

will help them to clean the room without using their energy while using a broom.

Future Researchers. This study will provide background information on how to create a

vacuum out of plastic bottles as a reference for future researchers. They could improve this

study with a greater significance and relevance of studies.

Scope and Delimitation

Definition of Terms

Lightweight prototype – a model built to test the effectiveness of the product

Long-term sustainability – ability to maintain the operations and process of something.

Caruum - combination of the word car and vacuum

Plastikos – from the Greek word plastikos, which means “to form” or “to mold”

Caruum plastikos – resembled car vacuum using recycled plastic bottles

Caruum was created based on the latest vacuum technology, is one of the most

convenient appliances created in recent times. Though being not as traditional as its

forefathers, Caruum have inbuilt sensors that can be controlled and do not require manual

support. They are the best vacuums for laminate floors, carpet and surface.

You can practically operate the vacuum from exactly where you are, using the

controls provided. They are not as versatile as others, yet, these vacuums can be used on

hardwood floors.

With Caruum, you may enjoy the joy of cleaning while controlling with a remote.

There is no age restriction on the enjoyment of remote-controlled toy or cars, so having to
