URC Robotics develops X40 autonomous floor-cleaning robot
URC Robotics built the X40, an autonomous floor-scrubbing robot for commercial spaces, but operators must test its safety and reliability in each setting before regular use.

URC Robotics has developed the X40, an autonomous floor-cleaning robot built for commercial environments. The scrubber navigates using LiDAR, visual odometry, and ROS 2 navigation software. It is designed for use in offices, hospitals, malls, and industrial facilities.
Operators deploying the X40 should validate safety, uptime, and exception handling within each specific environment before relying on routine autonomous operation.
