The Youtube video highlights the ability of the robot which is said to be suitable for hospitals and airports. The futuristic idea has been developed to remove the human element of cleaning and replace it with a robot instead.
Positives and Negatives
With millions of pounds being invested in these robots are they really the way of the future? This robot is set to cost thousands of pounds to purchase and maintenance costs have yet to be determined. The robot will clean floors but office cleaners do far more than that.The Clean Team at Coronet in Glasgow start at 4am to clean your office. What many people don't realise is the Clean Team provide additional support such as turning on the heating so an office is warm for the staff coming in. The Clean Team also wash and dry towels for businesses, provide a handyman service and clean stubborn carpet stains, all of which the cleaning robot can't do.
Most offices have carpets on their floor which the cleaning robot cannot manage. The intelligent cleaning robot is able to manage the lifts from floor to floor however cannot clean the stair vestibule areas of office premises, nor can it open doors. The Coronet Clean Team use different cloths for different surfaces which the robot would not be able to do, whilst wiping high surfaces with our custom selected cleaning products become impossible.
In principle, having a cleaning robot seems like a fantastic idea however in today's changing business environment we think companies need a flexible and convenient office cleaning company.
