MAIDBOT
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]
