Fey Business Partners has been working recently with a “legend” of the robotic cleaning business – Buck Ward of Cyberclean Systems. Buck pioneered the use of robotics for commercial floor cleaning going back to when he consulted with Transitions Research Corporation in 1985 to develop the navigation and control electronics that was incorporated into the original Electrolux (RoboKent) scrubber machine.
Thus began a journey to prove that robotic technology could transform the commercial cleaning industry, a $40 billion worldwide market. Unfortunately for Buck, RoboKent, and a number of other first generation companies, these pioneers were all ahead of what the available technology could do throughout the 1990’s and the first decade and a half of the 21stcentury to provide the accuracy, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and self-learning capabilities that would be needed to produce a highly reliable and cost effective cleaning robot.
As you will learn when you download and read about Buck’s journey in the white paper, “The Coming Tsunami: Service Robots” (see download below) the time for service robots has arrived, the obstacles have been overcome and the industry is taking off with lots of exciting and innovative products ready for use. Floor cleaning, including scrubbing and vacuuming is just the start. This new generation of service robots will also be your round-the-clock security guard, greet guests at your hotel, deliver the mail anywhere in the building, wash windows, even cut the grass!
