Avidbots launches Neo 2! The future of autonomous floor care

Autonomous commercial floor scrubber delivers a high-quality, consistent clean to free up front line workers for higher-value tasks

Kitchener, ON – September 1, 2020 – Avidbots, the company bringing robots to everyday life, today announced the launch of Neo 2, their next-generation autonomous robot floor scrubber platform. Created to be the industry standard, Neo 2 has been engineered from the ground up to be the highest in quality, reliability and serviceability with industry-leading technology and software.

According to a recent survey, 80 percent of U.S. businesses consider cleanliness and sanitation their top concern when managing the risk of COVID-19 to employees, customers and the public. For those businesses, Neo 2 is coming at the right time. In fact, Avidbots has seen a 100 percent increase in demand since the COVID-19 pandemic reached North America.

Designed for cleaning and sanitizing vast commercial spaces with hard flooring, Neo 2 offers organizations the opportunity to free up cleaning staff to focus on high-touch areas as well as ensuring a consistent cleaning experience. Many businesses (80 percent) expressed concern about the ability of their dedicated cleaning staff to comprehensively clean against COVID-19.

Featuring best-in-class technology integration, Neo 2 is powered by the Avidbots Autonomy and features a market-leading 10 sensors, resulting in 360 degrees of visibility and advanced obstacle avoidance. Coupled with advanced diagnostics and the proprietary Avidbots Command Center, Neo 2 operates with minimal human intervention, delivering maximum uptime and repeatability due to leading-edge automation. Moving at speeds up to 1.35m/4.43 ft per second, Neo 2 cleans and sanitizes more effectively and efficiently than humans, allowing the cleaning team to focus on other areas while Neo 2 takes care of the floors. With increased needs for disinfection in the ‘new normal’, Neo 2 will soon offer a Disinfection Add-On with the capacity to disinfect high-touch 3-D surfaces.

“We are excited to launch Neo 2 as the next iteration of our world-leading autonomous, floor-scrubbing robot platform. Building on the great success of the previous version, Neo 2 delivers quality, reliable, and measurable floor-cleaning solutions to commercial spaces,” says Faizan Sheikh, CEO, and Co-founder of Avidbots. “In a time when businesses need consistent, high-quality cleaning, and disinfecting, Neo 2 offers a smart answer for companies needing to reassure customers, partners, and employees alike.”

“As a robotics-first company, we’re proud to release the next generation of Neo, setting a new standard for floor cleaning robots as we continue to bring robots to everyday life to expand human potential,” says Pablo Molina, Chairman, CTO, VP of Product and Co-founder of Avidbots.
