Robert Scott expands robotics range with world-first robotic sweeper and scrubber dryer

We are delighted to announce the launch of two new additions to the fast-growing robotics range with the MT1 Robotic Sweeper and the SH1 Upright Scrubber Dryer, which joins Robert Scott’s suite of advanced cleaning robots. 

The MT1 Robotic Sweeper

The MT1 Robotic Sweeper is the world’s first AI-powered sweeping robot designed for large-scale environments, delivering results that rival ride-on sweepers.

The MT1 is equipped with AI cameras that can recognise and identify a variety of types of waste in real time, continually learning and evolving through deep learning and database updates.

A key feature is the MT1’s Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (VSLAM) which further enhances the machine’s ability to navigate through changing/dynamic environments. An ultra-wide scanning field of view means it can effortlessly cover large areas, accurately detecting and efficiently cleaning up waste during routine patrols.

The MT1’s dual disc brushes easily handle larger debris like leaves and bottles, while also efficiently sweeping up fine dust and dirt. High-flow negative pressure ventilation and an efficient filter to trap particles in the debris box helps to prevent secondary pollution.

The SH1 Upright Scrubber Dryer

Expanding the product line further is the newly launched SH1 Upright Scrubber Dryer. It’s designed with instant scrub-and-dry capability, delivering spotless surfaces in a single pass to save time and effort.

The SH1 features a user-friendly 4.2inch touchscreen that serves as a central control and information hub for the cleaning robot. It offers intuitive navigation and displays real-time information like battery levels, water levels, and cleaning mode selection. The screen also provides on-screen training with instructional videos and guides for tasks like battery care, brush selection, and maintenance.

It has multiple cleaning modes, and is equipped with innovative accessories to excel at cleaning vertical surfaces such as glass display cases, tiled walls, and mirrors, as well as floors. It also connects via Wi-Fi to enable reporting. 

The SH1 features a market first: a wastewater tank with an air-solid-liquid separation system. By separating gases, liquids, and solid particles, it facilitates a smooth disposal process for both wet and dry refuse and eliminates the risk of drain blockages. Compared to a conventional mop, it saves 80% on water and cleaning agent usage and reduces cleaning time b7 70%
