One of the early successes of autonomous robotics has been in cleaning and vacuuming applications. Current robotic cleaners typically target the domestic market, and thus provide solutions that are relatively low-cost, but as a result, have low cleaning throughput. Avidbots, based in Waterloo Region, is building a sophisticated and powerful cleaning robot for commercial applications. In contrast to existing solutions, Avidbot robots are equipped with state-of-the-art laser sensing, enabling a robot to localize itself within a map of the environment. This means that efficient cleaning paths can be planned, and cleaning times can be greatly reduced.

自主机器人的早期成功之一是在清洁和吸尘应用中。目前的机器人清洁器通常针对国内市场，因此提供相对低成本的解决方案，但因此具有低清洁吞吐量。位于滑铁卢地区的Avidbots正在为商业应用开发一种复杂而强大的清洁机器人。与现有的解决方案相比，Avidbot机器人配备了最先进的激光传感器，使机器人能够在环境地图中定位自己。这意味着可以规划高效的清洁路径，并大大缩短清洁时间。
