Bob is equipped with many important features that ensure a safe environment for your employees and guests as well as avoid damage to property, equipment, displays etc. These features include: -Onboard software that interprets sensor information preventing collisions and stopping Bob in case an obstacle in introduce while in motion -3D camera and LIDAR sensors -2 layers of safety features

• An array of sophisticated sensors that enable Bob to detect and navigate obstacles and automatically pause operations.
• A physical Emergency Stop Button on the rear that can be quickly activated by an operator. Bob with stop immediately allowing the operator to investigate and resolve any issues before continuing.
• The front and side bumpers are equipped with sensors that detect if Bob has made contact with a fixed object such as walls or other stationary objects. An emergency stop is then triggered and operations will pause immediately.
• If Bob does trigger an emergency stop by coming into contact with fixed object, a manual Electronic Brake switch will need to be released by an operator in order to continue service.

Bob's safety system will automatically pause operation if:

• The front safety bumper is activated.
• The right or left safety bumper is activated.
• An obstacle is introduced dangerously close to Bob's safety zones.
• There is an alert from Bob's internal safety process. This allows operators to investigate the issues and rectify it before giving permission for Bob to resume his duties.

The intention of robotic floor scrubbers is to take care of the time consuming, monotonous duty that is floor care, in order to free up the cleaning personnel so they can focus on the fine details like windows, dusting, sanitation, etc.

Bob's environmental sound is 72 dBA.

One of the cleaning personnel on duty during scheduled cleaning will require basic training on starting and stopping “Bob” and manually directing him to his charging station.

Ultra Shine currently wraps all robotic floor scrubbers in its personal branding, however options for other advertisement and branding are available at an additional cost.

A ride on floor scrubber requires a member of the cleaning staff to operate, direct and find the most efficient route for cleaning a space while an autonomous floor scrubber requires limited personnel and equipment interaction. “Bob” will require an initial manual tour of the space it will be servicing and will then find efficiencies through the use of algorithms and AI technology. After initial set up, the autonomous floor scrubber will only require cleaning initiation and guidance returning to recharge after it has completed its route or has run out of battery.

Ultra Shine currently has Bob deployed at some malls in the Edmonton area (Westmount and Northgate) as well, we have partnered with one of our customers to allow for pre-arranged demonstrations. If you have a space of approximately 50,000 Sq/Ft or more, please contact us to discuss an on site demonstration at your own facility.

Bob is best suited to facilities with large warehouses and an abundance of hard surface flooring such as malls and airports.

Bob is controlled a number of ways. It can be manually controlled much like a ride on or push floor scrubber, it can be communicated with via APP, and can be run without the control of personnel minus initiation and completion.

• Plans and routes are created by manually directing/steering Bob throughout a space. Once an initial plan has been created, Bob will find the most efficient route to clean the space through experience and AI technology.
• With a number of sensors and camera located throughout the body of Bob, he is able to avoid stationary and moving obstacles as circumstances arise

With a number of sensors and camera located throughout the body of Bob, he is able to avoid stationary and moving obstacles as circumstances arise.

Bob is designed to service indoor commercial spaces and should not be used for exterior building maintenance or cleaning.

Bob is designed to service hard surface floors such as concrete, terrazzo etc. through the use of brushes, water and detergent. Using Bob in carpeted areas is strongly discouraged as it could cause damage to both flooring and equipment.

Bob has been conveniently designed to be used with the same standard floor cleaning detergents used with ride on and push floor scrubbers. The use of foaming detergents is discouraged, non-foaming or low-foaming detergents are recommended.
