Cleaning & Sanitation Robots
Automate Floor Cleaning, Disinfection & Facility Sanitation
What are Cleaning & Sanitation Robots?
Cleaning and sanitation robots autonomously scrub, sweep, vacuum, or disinfect floors and surfaces in commercial, industrial, and healthcare facilities. Most navigate using SLAM mapping and LiDAR or camera-based obstacle avoidance, working safely alongside staff and the public during or after operating hours.

Pudu Robotics MT1 Vac
The PUDU MT1 Vac is an AI-powered autonomous commercial sweeper and vacuum for large, flat indoor environments, including airports, hotels, banquet halls and industrial facilities. It combines sweeping, vacuuming and dust mopping and can work across hardened floors and short-pile or industrial carpets, with LiDAR and vision-fusion navigation plus AI floor and debris recognition. The robot offers a 700 mm sweeping path, 550 mm vacuuming width, up to 1,400 m2/hour theoretical productivity and 3-6.5 hours runtime. Optional automatic charging and PUDU Link/IoT integrations can reduce charging intervention and connect the unit with building systems, while local certification, service coverage and site suitability should be confirmed before deployment.

AGIBOT C5
The AGIBOT C5 is an autonomous commercial cleaning robot designed for medium and large indoor facilities. It combines sweeping, scrubbing and dust mopping, with a published maximum cleaning efficiency of 1,980 m²/h, a 550 mm washing width, a 90 L water tank and 25 kg of scrubbing pressure. AGIBOT Autonomy uses laser-vision fusion positioning and visual/point-cloud perception for mapping, obstacle recognition and real-time avoidance. Closed-loop cleaning can identify missed areas and trigger automatic recleaning, while robot, mobile and cloud controls support remote start, scheduling and automated job reports. With the optional workstation, the C5 can recharge, refill clean water, drain wastewater and rinse its sewage tank automatically, reducing routine intervention in shopping malls, transport hubs, factories, hospitals, supermarkets, offices, hotels and similar hard-floor sites.

KEENON Robotics KLEENBOT C20
The KEENON KLEENBOT C20 is a compact autonomous cleaning robot designed for smaller indoor spaces such as cafés, hotel rooms, convenience stores, offices, apartments and other tight commercial environments. It combines sweeping, vacuuming and mopping for routine hard-floor maintenance, with a low 351 mm body height that helps it clean under tables, beds and other low furniture. Its buyer value is strongest where facilities teams need repeatable daily cleaning in constrained spaces rather than large-area scrubbing capacity.

KEENON Robotics KLEENBOT C30
The KEENON KLEENBOT C30 is a compact commercial dry-cleaning robot designed for indoor hard floors and regular low-pile carpet. It combines sweeping, vacuuming and dust mopping / dust pushing in a 610 mm cleaning path, with LiDAR-based positioning, stereo vision sensors and app/web task management. With up to 600 m2/hour cleaning efficiency and up to 2,500 m2 per full charge, it is best suited to routine dry maintenance cleaning in offices, retail spaces, hotels, public buildings, transport hubs and similar commercial environments. Because it is a water-free dry-cleaning model, it should not be positioned as a wet scrubber or stain-removal machine without further manufacturer confirmation.

KEENON Robotics KLEENBOT C40
The KEENON KLEENBOT C40 is a professional 4-in-1 commercial floor-cleaning robot for small to medium indoor spaces. It combines sweeping, vacuuming, scrubbing and water extraction / drying, using a triple-brush dry-wet separation design to handle mixed dry debris and wet cleaning tasks without changing components. With up to 1,100 m2/hour stated cleaning efficiency, a 560 mm sweeping width, 400 mm vacuuming/scrubbing width and 16 L / 14 L water tanks, it is positioned for retail, office, hotel, healthcare, food-service and residential-area environments between roughly 500 and 4,500 m2. Its 65 cm minimum passage width and battery-swap support make it a practical option where customers need wet and dry cleaning in tighter commercial spaces.

Frequently asked questions
What does a commercial cleaning robot cost?
$25,000–$60,000 per robot for the scrubbers and sweepers we list, with annual savings of $25,000–$45,000. Typical payback is 10–18 months.
How much floor area can one robot cover?
A lot. At Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Agibot C5 scrubbers clean 21,300 sq ft per hour across busy terminals. Coverage rate is one of the first specs to compare for your site size.
Can they clean while the building is open?
Yes — SLAM navigation and obstacle avoidance let them work safely around people. Most sites run them overnight anyway: one US convenience retailer automated 90% of floor cleaning after hours, freeing 30+ staff hours per store per week.
Do cleaning robots replace our janitorial team?
In practice they take over the repetitive floor work so staff cover detail cleaning, restocking and higher-value tasks. Trilogy Corporate Services cut scheduled floor-care labour spend by 45% without losing coverage.
Can we prove cleaning happened for compliance audits?
Yes — cloud reporting generates time-stamped coverage logs. Trilogy's deployment produces fully audit-ready digital hygiene trails, which matters for healthcare and food environments.
What about multi-storey buildings?
Some robots integrate with IoT-enabled lifts to move between floors autonomously — Trilogy's CC1 fleet transits and cleans multiple floors unattended.
