Kas is an innovative cleaning solution tailor-made for tight spaces and dynamic, commercial environments.

Avidbots, one of the world's leading robotics companies, announced today the launch of Kas, a fully autonomous floor scrubber to meet the needs of the retail, transportation, health care, and education industries. Commercial leaders have been waiting for a cleaning option that can navigate in tight spaces and clean seamlessly around people and objects. Kas allows customers to future-proof their labor strategy, realize immediate savings, and revolutionize their cleaning strategy.

"Kas represents a true evolution in the experience that customers can expect from commercial cleaning robots. It is the culmination of more than a decade of experience designing robots and years of research and development," said Pablo Molina, CTO, VP of product and co-founder at Avidbots. "Avidbots is leading the charge in automated cleaning solutions by delivering a truly touch-free experience, improving workforce efficiency, ensuring consistent productivity, and offering the ability to accurately measure cleaning performance across fleets of robots."

"We've been testing Kas in our retail store with tremendous success," said Richard King, store manager of Canadian Tire Welland. "Canadian Tire's floor plan changes frequently with seasonal displays and rotating inventory. Kas easily navigates these changes, freeing up valuable staff time and allowing our floors to remain beautifully clean with little disturbance to customers."

Kas offers the following features:

The latest generation of our Avidbots Autonomy, the company's proprietary AI software, featuring advanced dynamic planning, comprehensive sensor system (15 sensors), and advanced obstacle avoidance.
Commercial-grade hardware and cleaning results with 90lbs of cleaning down-force.

Low cleaning noise level providing minimal disturbance.

Retail, in particular, stands at the forefront of automation adoption, and we're thrilled to assist in realizing the industry's automation objectives. Our customers are seeking a solution that simplifies their cleaning process, reinforces their store image, and allows their teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
