were specifically created to support the existing cleaning crew with manual work while enabling them to perform supervisory duties. They will help speed up cleaning tasks while ensuring greater cleaning consistency.
After the initial announcement and reveal, we were treated to a number of cleaning demonstrations, as a LeoBot weaved its way between a slalom course of cones, dealt with spillages quickly, quietly and efficiently, and interacted with an unpredictable human obstacle. This last part was perhaps the most interesting interaction, as ‘Leo’ was able to adjust very quickly and interact politely, something that will be particularly useful in busy public scenarios, such as dealing with children in shopping centres.
There are four different models of LeoBot, each with their own purpose:
LeoScrub: This scrubbing expert uses up to 70% less water, with a running time of four to five hours.
LeoVac: Comes with an optional HEPA filter for cleaner air, a five-hour running time and 16L vacuum tank.
LeoMop: With a staggering 20-hour running time, the LeoMop is also a silent runner.
LeoPull: A strong worker, able to pull bins of up to 450kg and run for 20 hours between charges.

While all the different models and functions are nice, what is truly unique about LionsBot’s concept is teamwork. Area mapping can be easily shared between models, while teams of up to 10 robots can be managed by a single cleaning operative via an App. The robots can work together on different tasks at the same time, without having to assign multiple operatives for each task or location.
Cleaning tasks can be set, manual control taken, reports can be received and support contacted 24/7, all via the LionsClean App, but it’s not all about the bots themselves. Operatives are given an individual account on the App where interactions and use are tallied and tracked on leaderboards. This provides tangible feedback on results and efficiency, with tasks successfully completed and maintenance performed adding to the user’s score.
Rolling out across the UK in 2020, Killis expect the LeoBots to help clean the country’s hotels, supermarkets, shopping centres and airports through the ‘Robots-as-a-Service’ concept. This unique rental-based business models enables customers are able to rapidly deploy teams of robots at an affordable rental rate, compared to the purchasing prices of other cleaning robots.
