Autonomics: outdoor cleaning and multi-vendor fleet management
Professional cleaning is now one of the fastest-growing areas of service robotics. According to the International Federation of Robotics’ World Robotics 2026 report, professional cleaning grew 40% year-on-year, making it the second-fastest-growing application among the top 5 categories of professional service robots. Overall shipments of professional service robots increased 24% to almost 250,000 units.
Autonomics, part of ASBIS Robotic Solutions, develops autonomous cleaning technologies for commercial, industrial and outdoor environments. The company combines its own robotic platforms with partner technologies, fleet management software and automated servicing infrastructure.
SWEEPER: outdoor cleaning
Outdoor operation remains a relatively narrow segment of commercial cleaning robotics, partly because navigation is more complex than on a mapped indoor floor.
SWEEPER was developed specifically for open and public spaces, where the robot has to operate autonomously around buildings, trees, pedestrians, vehicles and other changing elements of the environment. It can cover up to 30,000 m² per day and operate for more than 5 hours on a single charge.
SWEEPER uses vacuum cleaning with water-based dust suppression and does not require replaceable dust filters or a central broom, reducing the number of consumable parts used in regular operation.
COMBO: sweeping and washing in one operation
Industrial sites often combine warehouse floors, covered parking and outdoor hard surfaces, making separate machines for every area impractical.
COMBO is designed for both indoor and outdoor operation and performs vacuum sweeping and floor washing simultaneously. Dust, dirt and larger debris are collected during the same cycle, so there is no need to pre-sweep the floor before washing.
The robot offers cleaning efficiency of up to 5,750 m² per hour, a 100-liter waste container with automatic debris dumping, and 4-6 hours of operation, making it suitable for warehouses, industrial facilities, covered parking and other large hard-floor areas.
OMNI: designed for limited space
In warehouses and factories, cleaning equipment often has to operate in narrow aisles, around racking and in other areas with limited manoeuvring space.
OMNI combines sweeping and wet scrubbing in one pass with omnidirectional movement and a zero turn radius. It can move forward, sideways and diagonally and turn on the spot, making it suitable for factories, warehouses and parking facilities where space is limited.
Managing a mixed robotic fleet
Different areas of the same facility may require different robotic solutions. Autonomics addresses this through FLEET, a cloud platform that brings cleaning scenarios, automatic routing, task scheduling, remote monitoring and reporting into one system.
More importantly, Autonomics positions FLEET as a multi-vendor platform built for mixed fleets, rather than software limited to its own robots. This allows different cleaning technologies to be planned and monitored through one application.
Autonomics also automates the work between cleaning cycles. Its Charge, Refill and Dock solutions range from wireless charging to a full dock that can charge, refill, empty and wash the robot automatically. For commercial spaces, the company complements its own platforms with integrated partner technologies selected around floor types, visitor traffic and operating hours.
