SoftBank Robotics

Robotic solutions to assist with hotel cleanliness, staff efficiency and guest satisfaction.

SoftBank Robotics provide cobotic solutions in order to better support your hotel, and improve cleanliness, staff efficiency and guest satisfaction.

Our robots are intended to work in conjunction with cleaning and catering teams to create a happier, healthier and more productive hospitality environment.

Our robotics suite includes both Keenbot, an automated tray delivery robot capable of transporting up to 40kg of items in catering environments, and Whiz, an automated vacuum cleaner capable of cleaning up to 1500m2 of floors.

Meet Keenbot – The tray delivery robot

Keenbot is a collaborative (cobotic) delivery robot that partners with hospitality and kitchen teams to improve end user service experience.  Keenbot takes care of repetitive delivery to and from the kitchen to the table freeing up serving staff to be more customer focused and improving the dining experience.

Keenbot can bring dishes to four tables at once because of its multi-point delivery function and features a cruise delivery mode which is convenient for customers to pick up meals by themselves.

Keenbots multi-tray architecture gives you the freedom to adapt to varied settings.  It features an intelligent timetable system which allows users to deploy many robots at once.  In unexpected situations, robots can detect obstacles and devise the best route to avoid colliding, and with an ultra-flexible regional speed limit function, it can alter its speed based on a sloped gradient

Whiz – The collaborative floor cleaning robot

Whiz is a cobotic vaccum cleaner that collaborates with cleaning teams to create happier, healthier environments, and to allow cleaning staff to focus on more important cleaning tasks. By replacing manual vacuuming with a robot vacuum, you can also minimize direct contact between hotel guests and cleaning staff to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

Whiz provides a consistent clean and doesn’t spot clean or skip areas. It provides 99.8% area coverage and 99.9% pathogen removal—every time.

Leveraging the latest artificial intelligence, Whiz adapts to changes in the cleaning environment in real-time and can easily handle modifications to programmed routes. It also provides measurable proof of clean and data-driven insights to improve cleaning performance continuously. With Whiz Connect, stakeholders can easily access reports, track ROI, and see what, when, and how each space is cleaned in real-time.

Hotel guests appreciate seeing Whiz, knowing it is helping to keep them safe and healthy.

Whiz is a visual demonstration of your commitment to your guests’ wellbeing.
