The Rise of NEO : Revolutionizing Floor Cleaning with Autonomous Robots

In the realm of floor cleaning, a new player has emerged, ready to revolutionize the industry. Meet NEO, the autonomous floor-scrubbing robot developed by Avidbots. Now in its 8th generation, NEO represents the culmination of over six years of continuous improvement and showcases impressive technological advancements. Designed specifically for public and commercial spaces, NEO utilizes cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI), mapping algorithms, and vision sensors to deliver a high-quality, consistent clean with minimal human intervention.

Impressive Technology and Design

The physical design of NEO is as remarkable as its capabilities. Weighing in at approximately 472 kilograms (over 1000 lbs) with batteries, this robot resembles a mini Zamboni. With a length of one meter, NEO can carry 112 liters (32 gallons) of water, stored separately in clean and dirty tanks. Its industrial-strength batteries enable up to 6 hours of continuous cleaning. Despite its rugged build, NEO operates quietly and nimbly, capable of stopping on a dime.

Dynamic Planning and Continuous Improvement

However, NEO’s design is only part of the equation. The software that powers the robot is equally remarkable. Bobby Floyd, a representative from Avidbots, explains, “Neo uses advanced machine learning and AI that allows it to get better at cleaning over time. Neo is always learning how to improve its pathways and avoid people and obstacles in its way. Neo does not need to be remapped when floor layouts change, furniture is moved, or obstacles are placed in an area. It uses AI to re-learn pathways in real-time as floor layouts shift.”

Avidbots’ proprietary AI software equips NEO with dynamic planning capabilities, enabling it to navigate around obstacles and efficiently complete its tasks without requiring explicit programming. The floor scrubber adheres to the cleaning plan while adapting to changes in its environment, including the presence of new or moved objects. The AI system finds alternate paths, even for substantial obstacles that necessitate significant deviations from the typical cleaning route. Through machine learning and regular software updates from the cloud, NEO continually improves, consistently finding the most efficient means to follow the cleaning plans.

Onboarding NEO: Seamless Integration in Facilities

Deploying NEO in a new facility requires some planning, but Avidbots’ dedicated technicians work closely with partners to ensure a seamless setup process. On-site, Avidbots techs and facility personnel review every aspect of NEO’s operation and guide the machine through the facility. They map out cleaning plans, set start and end positions, and define no-go zones and slow down zones. The onboarding process for NEO includes on-site mapping of areas to be cleaned, the creation of customized cleaning plans optimized for maximum productivity and coverage, and on-site training tailored for cleaning staff, cleaning supervisors, and senior managers, covering hardware, software, and maintenance.

24×7 Support: Ensuring Customer Satisfaction

Avidbots understands that providing excellent customer experience is essential for fostering successful relationships. While NEO is easy and intuitive to use, it incorporates a complex stack of integrated hardware and software. To support customers effectively, Avidbots has ensured the availability of knowledgeable and helpful technicians around the clock. Through direct 24 x 7 x 365 contact with NEO technicians via phone, online chat, or quick response email, customers can address any concerns or issues promptly. Technicians are also equipped to access NEO remotely when necessary and are trained to handle challenges that may arise in healthcare facilities, such as changing environments, construction, temporary obstructions, or weather-related factors. Additionally, Avidbots offers an optional service plan covering regularly scheduled maintenance, comprehensive inspections, adjustments to NEO, and part replacements.

Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting with the Command Center

Real-time monitoring and reporting are crucial for maintaining optimal operations. While NEO operates autonomously, maintenance managers can check on a unit at any time and access valuable information using the Avidbots’ Command Center web app. This intuitive, always-on, multi-language interface allows facilities management to monitor and manage their robot scrubber fleets in real time. Integrated with NEO’s camera technology, the Command Center web app enables facility staff to see what NEO sees through live remote monitoring. The app also provides a comprehensive reporting suite, offering key metrics to ensure that the robot is utilized to its full potential. Facility managers can track productivity, coverage maps, water usage, individual cleaning plan reports, performance over time, and more, allowing for data-driven decision-making and optimization of cleaning operations.
