Abstract: AQUA MOP PATHFINDER This invention relates to aqua mop pathfinder, comprises three main components: an Arduino Uno microcontroller, an L298N motor driver, and an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor detects the proximity of a guiding object, such as a mop-stick. When the object is within a 1-meter range, the device remains idle. Once the object moves beyond this range, the sensor triggers the Arduino to activate a motor via the L298N driver, allowing the device to move toward the object and assist in bulb replacement. This system enhances user convenience by eliminating the need for ladders or stools, reduces physical strain, and improves safety and precision in the bulb-changing process. It is cost-effective, low maintenance, and provides a permanent solution to common ceiling maintenance challenges.

2. L298N
3. Ultra sonic sensor
ARDUINO UNO: Arduino UNO is a low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-use programmable open-source microcontroller board that can be integrated into a variety of electronic projects. This board can be interfaced with other Arduino boards and can control L298N, motors as an output.
L298N: L298N is designed to control the power inside the motors and it gives the power how much the motor needs it will control the extra power and reduce and do not to short circuit to the system.
Ultrasonic sensor: It takes the command from the Arduino and does the work. it reads the distance between the object and it and follows the command.
Process: when the user is mopping with a mopstick the ultrasonic sensor reads the distance between it and the mopstick, if the mopstick is between a radius of 1meter it will not move after the mopstick moves the radius of 1 meter then the ultrasonic sensor reads the distance and it approaches the mopstick.
