Co-botic machinery uses AI (artificial intelligence) to perform tasks that traditionally required human intervention, such as vacuuming, mopping, and even scrubbing. Co-botics now work in partnership with cleaners to carry out basic tasks; leaving the cleaner to focus on more detailed work in high touchpoint areas. With this level of automation, the cleaning industry should be prepared for a major change; with the potential to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall cleanliness.
