A Door-Actuated Scheduling System for Shared Robot-Vacuum Room Rotation in Share Housing
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports DOORTURN, an actuated door-stop scheduling system that gates a share house's shared robot vacuum to the bedroom next in the household's cleaning rotation on a fixed 45-minute cycle, with no manual override, and evaluates its effect on rotation compliance and dispute frequency against an unenforced whiteboard baseline.
