Abstract. This paper describes the design of household intelligent cleaning robot, which is an innovative work of collegiate contest. This paper describes the general structure of system, hardware circuit design and software program design. The robot can achieve autonomous movement, garbage cleaning, obstacle avoidance and other functions. It can work in the home, library, exhibition halls and other indoor environment. This design, which is applied to the training of electronic course group, not only cultivates the students' professional interest but also improves the students' engineering practice ability and innovation ability. This design has been successfully used in the electronic course group training of application-oriented universities.
