ICE Cobotics

ICE Cobotics manufactures Cobi 18, an autonomous floor-cleaning collaborative robot (cobot). Cobi 18 uses sensors to navigate tight aisles and complex real-world environments, detect obstacles, and map out optimal cleaning paths. The cobots can clean 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of floor space every hour, and deliver up to 2 hours of cleaning per charge. They can operate multiple routes in succession without requiring human input, autonomously prioritize cleaning in high-traffic areas, and clean any kind of flooring thanks to the range of components they house in their base, including a squeegee and a dry mop. “Fill-in Mode” allows users to simply map the perimeter of an area; Cobi 18 fills in the rest on its own.

The company offers its cobots as part of an end-to-end robots-as-a-service (RaaS) solution that includes hardware, software, and the actionable data the robots collect as they work. ICE Cobotics’ fleet management software, I-SYNERGY, allows users to track and analyze machine usage data, monitor cleaning performance and receive “clean scores,” establish and track cleaning goals, access site-specific reports, get machine alerts and notifications, review consumable status, and request maintenance. The full-service subscription also includes support, repairs and replacement parts, consumables, and software and hardware updates. The subscription price—$16,000 for 36 months—amounts to $15/day for each cobot.
