Entry Description

The ‘Snail’ is a unique and novel autonomous steam mopping robot designed to clean and disinfect indoor floors, including carpet. A floor disinfecting autonomous eco-friendly robot is essential for the crowded place during this Covid-19 pandemic. The snail ergonomics are designed in an attractive and meaningful way, matching the nature of the robot as it is designed to move very slowly for adequate disinfection of the floor and leave a temporary water trail like actual snails. The design will be ideal at hospitals where frequent cleaning and disinfection are crucial.
