Avidbots

Avidbots manufactures a suite of autonomous cleaning robots. The robots are equipped with 3D cameras, lasers, and sensors for collision avoidance, and are powered by Avidbots Autonomy, the company’s proprietary AI software that includes dynamic planning and advanced obstacle-avoidance features. Avidbots’ flagship robot, Neo, scrubs floors at hospitals, airports, schools, and malls. Neo 2W is designed for warehouses and manufacturing environments, while Kas is designed for improved performance in tighter spaces. Before a robot cleans a space, Avidbots’ team maps the facility and generates cleaning plans to match the business’ needs. Before every cleaning, the robot utilizes an array of sensors to analyze the space, comparing it to the initial cleaning plan before determining the most efficient route to enhance productivity.

Robots are available for direct sale as well as through a hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) subscription model. Neo, for example, costs around $50,000 for purchase, or customers can access it for a monthly fee of $2,500-$2,900. The monthly recurring subscription for software and services is approximately $500; it includes Avidbots Autonomy, the Avidbots Command Center (for fleet management, reporting, analytics, and real-time monitoring), and 24/7 remote assistance.
