In many cases, people always expect robots to work faster and more efficiently to complete the task but the efficiency of single robots could not be improved due to its own internal framework limitation in updating hardware and to add more sensors. The above limitation could be solved with the application of multi-robot system, where the number of robots are increased which intern improves the performance of the robot thereby giving opportunity in the development of single robots. A good multi-robot system should have an excellent ability to control and coordinate in completing the task with cooperation and assignment of work between the individual robots. In this paper, we propose a novel design for the cleaning robot based on the multi-robot system. This system can improve the coordinative ability of a multi-robot system, which can make the multiple single cleaning robots to complete the task of cleaning more systematically using the coverage path planning method in an unknown environment.
