Professional cleaning has become a proving ground for autonomous robots. Schools, hospitals, warehouses, transport hubs, commercial buildings; these are dynamic, shared spaces where people move, conditions change, and low-lying obstacles can interrupt a robot's mission at any moment. “This is where autonomous cleaning actually takes place,” explains Roger Kaiser, head of robotics at Cleanfix, a professional cleaning technology company. Perception…

For years, most robotic systems operated comfortably in the millimeter range. If a robot could repeat a position within a few tenths of a millimeter, that was usually good enough. In a lot of industries, it still is. But in others, that level of precision just doesn’t hold anymore. In semiconductor work, medical devices, optics and advanced electronics, tolerances have…
