The AI-powered machines can perform tasks including autonomous floor scrubbing, vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping and are designed to navigate large and complex spaces while avoiding obstacles and collisions.
Acme will showcase the Gausium range, which includes the Scrubber 75 and Vacuum 40 models, at the Seamless Middle East expo in Dubai on May 23–24.
The robots are capable of simultaneous vacuuming and sweeping on carpets as well as simultaneous sweeping and dry mopping on hard floors.
Acme Intralog CEO Navin Narayan pointed out that the pandemic had increased the emphasis on cleaning and keeping cleaning workers safe.
"Robotic solutions can significantly reduce the manpower as well as the amount of time the cleaning team spends in germ-prone areas. We are delighted to partner with Gausium to bring to market AI-powered solutions developed to deliver the highest level of autonomy possible," he stated.
"The cleaning machines are designed to operate in complex environments with people, with the utmost regard to safety. The cleaning route can be programmed into the robot, and it will follow the route with no human intervention required. If the machine needs assistance, it will notify the operator," he added.
