Industry Highlights: Spotlight on Service Robotics & Industry Shifts
Welcome to the July edition of the FieldBots Radar, where we round up the latest from the world of cleaning robotics. This month, it’s all about global moves, milestone moments, and a growing focus on safety. Here’s what’s making headlines:
KEMARO Goes USA
Big milestone for Swiss robotics: KEMARO AG has officially established a presence in the U.S.! After months of preparation, the first container of K900 dry cleaning robots has arrived in the United States.
The team is now onboarding partners and training distributors to bring their autonomous industrial cleaning solution to North America.
Pudu Robotics Expands Industrial Lineup
Pudu Robotics has released the MT1 Vac, a new robotic system that combines sweeping, vacuuming, and dust mopping in a single device. The model is designed for large commercial areas, such as airports, hotels, and office buildings, where dry floor cleaning is required across various surfaces.
One of the key features of the MT1 Vac is its dual-fan suction system, which significantly increases suction power compared to previous models. According to the manufacturer, this feature enables the device to pick up even heavier debris, such as small metal objects.
Milestone: Tennant sold 10,000 Robotic Scrubbers
Tennant Company has announced the sale of its 10,000th robotic floor scrubber, marking a major milestone in the adoption of autonomous cleaning technology. With installations in sectors from retail to logistics, Tennant’s milestone underscores the strong and sustained demand for robotic solutions.
Safety First: Are Cleaning Robots Secure?
As robots become more common in public and private facilities, questions around safety and security are growing louder. A recent in-depth analysis by the European Cleaning Journal examines the technical, operational, and ethical implications of robotic cleaning systems.
From data protection to safe navigation in dynamic environments, the article emphasizes the importance of prioritizing trust and transparency to ensure long-term acceptance.
