CLEANING CREW

The next time you are at Jewel Changi Airport or National Gallery Singapore, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Leobots.

The cleaning crew of autonomous robots, which bagged top honours at the Amsterdam Innovation Award this year, offer essential services such as scrubbing (Leoscrub), mopping (Leomop) and vacuuming (Leovac), as well as moving heavy items (Leopull). The brainchild of Singapore‑ based robotics company Lionsbot International, the bots are highly productive and designed to be approachable and appealing. So far, there are over 60 Leobots and Leorays (its UVC disinfection counterparts) being deployed across Singapore to assist their human counterparts.
