SoftBank Robotics America (SBRA), the company’s North American branch, and Gausium, a company that makes self-driving cleaning and service robots, have joined forces to bring automated robots indoors in the US.
In order to help businesses implement, integrate, and scale robotic systems within their enterprises, SBRA and Gausium will collaborate. The alliance will concentrate on two products: Cleaner 50 Pro (S50), a robotic floor scrubber powered by artificial intelligence; and X1, a running and bussing solution for the food service industry.
Allen Zhang, Gausium’s Chief of Overseas Business, declared that SBRA was the best partner to advertise our products across the United States. After the sale, their comprehensive customer support makes sure that every adopter is getting the promised return on their experience and investment when using our robots.
Three serving trays on X1 have a combined payload of 30 kg. The robot can deliver food and drinks to multiple tables at once and plan the fastest route between the kitchen and the tables while avoiding people, staff, furniture, and other robots.
The first fleet of X1 robots from the firms has already been placed in Orlando’s The Hall On The Yard, a 12,250-square-foot full-service dining hall with nine restaurants.
“The technology used by Gausium is cutting edge for industrial service robots. According to Brady Watkins, president of SoftBank Robotics America, “their products are smart, secure, and simple, enabling clients to quickly implement them into their enterprises.” We help businesses go beyond adoption and focus on integrating and scaling their technology to get the most out of our solutions and really solve the manpower shortage that many industries are facing right now.
Following the deployment of Whiz, a collaborative robot vacuum, the S50 will increase SBRA’s selection of cleaning robots. An all-purpose cleaning, sweeping, dust-mopping, and sanitizing product is S50. The robot can simultaneously disinfect and clean floors, and it automatically cleans up mess by identifying and getting rid of germs before they spread. If a spill is too big for the robot to handle on its own, it will talk to an operator to ask for more help.
To become a global leader in robotics solutions, SoftBank Robotics has operations in Tokyo, San Francisco, Boston, London, Paris, Hamberg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Singapore, Sydney, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Brady Watkins was named the company’s president by SBRA in June. Previously, Watkins held the positions of senior vice president and general manager for the business.
