Aurora Number One

Aurora Number One is an autonomous cleaning robot designed for residential and commercial communities. Sweeping and mopping are performed at the same time, so most common waste is removed in one pass. The mophead is self-cleaned and air-dried at the base station, which prevents secondary pollution and slippery floors. Edge cleaning reaches a minimum distance of one centimetre, reducing missed corners. The robot takes elevators on its own, detects the level of stains and repeats cleaning when needed. The design supports cleaning staff where labour is scarce.

Aris-Imr

Aris-Imr is an inventory tracking robot developed for large warehouses with high storage racks. A lifting mast raises the scanning module from 15 millimeters above the floor up to a height of 15 meters, so barcodes on pallets and goods are read level by level. One robot can cover a warehouse of nearly 30,000 square meters within 11.5 hours. Tasks are sent remotely, and the work continues day and night without staff on site. A report is generated after each task to support accurate inventory planning.
