Inefficient cleaning of buildings

Traditional cleaning methods are time-consuming and physically demanding, resulting in high operating costs and increased stress on staff.

In addition, inconsistent cleaning quality due to human error and fatigue can affect the hygiene and appearance of buildings. This is particularly problematic in busy public buildings such as offices, schools and hospitals. Another problem is that manual cleaning can disrupt daily routines. Cleaners occasionally have to work during operating hours, causing disruption and inconvenience to building users.

The use of robotics in building cleaning could be a solution to these problems. Robots can autonomously clean corridors and other common areas faster and more consistently. Operating costs are also reduced as fewer staff are needed for cleaning. Robots can also work outside peak times to minimize disruption to daily operations and they are able to carry out hazardous or unhealthy tasks such as cleaning chemically contaminated areas or operating at height.
