Maidbot is on a mission to bridge the gap between robots and humans - starting with Rosie - the world's very first housekeeping robot for hotels and commercial buildings. Like a self-driving car, Rosie navigates intelligently through the space while cleaning floors and collecting invaluable operational and environmental data. Maidbot's automated systems deliver unprecedented value to hotel operators, room attendants, and hotel guests. There are three major issues Maidbot is tackling: *Housekeeping is the highest variable cost regardless of the hotel. *Room attendants have the highest injury rates in the service sector. *Current commercial cleaning practices are inconsistent and hard to objectively manage. By using Maidbot's systems, hotel and commercial cleaning operators will see an increase in profitability; healthier and happier staff; and higher guest satisfaction. In addition, room attendants will be able to focus on less strenuous tasks - ultimately reducing injury rates. Finally, guests will have a more enjoyable experience through consistent cleanliness and more flexible check-in and check-out times. Given the size and scale of the hospitality market, a lack of innovation in the field, and the potential to improve the health and safety of room attendants; Maidbot transforms the industry by leveraging the power of robotics. By solving the two biggest issues in housekeeping – time and injuries – Maidbot revolutionizes commercial cleaning - one bot at a time.
