            Industrial Cleaning Robot
                                              Rosie is the world’s first housekeeping robot, and she uses LiDAR
                                              technology to navigate. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote
                                              sensing method using pulsed laser light to measure distance. Rosie has
                                              omni-directional wheels for ease of movement and was designed for
                                              use in the hospitality and retail industries as well as commercial
                                              buildings. While cleaning, Rosie also functions as an indoor mobile data
                                              platform that collects and analyzes data, including temperature, air
                                              quality, foot traffic and even mold growth.

            While most people are familiar with the Roomba vacuum, this robot is built for industrial work: it is faster and
            much sturdier than a Roomba. Room cleaning time is greatly reduced, allowing for increased flexibility with
            hotel check-in times. Organizations also anticipate that cleaning staff will have less work-related injuries with
            the help of this autonomous cleaner. [maidbot.com]

            It’s clear that the future of Commercial and Corporate Real Estate is digital. Technology developments bring
            opportunities for businesses to improve how they operate and manage their companies. Understanding trends
            and positioning your company for early adoption can create an advantage over the competition.

            Many of these new technologies will be discussed at CoRE Tech 2019 in Silicon Valley on November 13-15.
            Join us at the San Jose Convention Center to learn about transformational tech for the CRE industry.
