As a result, many times the robots would bang into the walls of the rooms whilst cleaning. Besides this, the robots also had a limited range of motion due to which they couldn’t clean the extreme corner areas.

  • Certain companies have also gone ahead of others and installed 360° vision enabled cameras in the robot janitors, and have infused them with the robot’s structural algorithm which guides its movements and activities. What this has done, is it has given the robots an amazing human-like ability to see and deduce the consequences of various potential actions.
