A New Era of Autonomous Cleaning: Lavo AI

Lavo Bot AI brings enterprise-grade autonomy to one of the most demanding exterior maintenance tasks. Using Click-and-Clean™ job templates powered by Lucid OS™, operators can set up, save, and repeat complex cleaning routes with only a few taps, eliminating hours of manual prep work.

With advanced mapping, full-environment sensing, and powered by NVIDIA edge compute, Lavo Bot AI navigates real facilities with confidence and delivers consistent, high-quality cleaning at scale. This is autonomy designed for real job sites, not just controlled environments.

The system can clean up to 6,000 square feet per hour and integrates with commercial pressure washing rigs up to 20 GPM and 4,500 PSI. Early adopters are already seeing what it means to unlock more output without adding more headcount.

Why it matters

Facility teams are being asked to do more with fewer people as the United States janitorial and building maintenance market reaches ~$108B. Labor shortages continue to grow, service expectations are rising, and operators are under pressure to maintain cleaner, safer exterior environments while also reducing costs. Within this market, exterior surface cleaning alone represents $15 to $22B  dollars in recurring annual work, most of which is still performed manually.

Despite the size of the industry, autonomous systems account for well under one percent of all surface cleaning operations today. Most facilities rely on slow and physically demanding manual workflows that limit throughput and make scheduling unpredictable. Lavo Bot AI gives operators an immediate path to higher productivity, consistent quality, and more reliable service delivery. The robot augments crews rather than replacing them and allows existing teams to cover significantly more ground with far less strain, making exterior maintenance more scalable and cost effective.

How It Works

Lavo Bot AI uses the latest NVIDIA edge compute platform to power its autonomy, vision systems, and mapping intelligence. These capabilities allow the robot to move safely through real-world environments and produce enterprise-grade results.

Key capabilities include:

• Autonomy that lasts. Operators can save job areas and rerun them with precise route memory on a recurring schedule.
• Safety for active job sites. Multi-sensor vision systems and zone-based geofencing support safe operation around people and equipment.
• Purpose-built durability. The robot can handle long hose runs and challenging outdoor conditions including grime, gum, grease, and inconsistent surface textures.

Customer perspective

"You recover the investment in just a couple of months," said Francisco Oliveras, owner of PWR Wash PR. "With this approach, you can reduce operating expenses by 40% or more."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
