Cleaning Robots in 2026: Floor, Window & Facade, and Solar Panel

Robots now scrub supermarket aisles, rappel down skyscrapers and dust off desert solar farms. This is an unranked roundup of real, currently marketed cleaning robots across three segments — floor cleaning (mostly commercial scrubbers, plus one standout home vacuum), window & facade cleaning, and solar-panel cleaning — with each robot's maker, the maker's home country, launch year and one standout spec.

Highlights

Floor

Tennant T7AMR

Tennant's ride-on T7 scrubber, made driverless with Brain Corp's BrainOS software, was the company's first autonomous machine when it launched in 2018. An operator drives a route once to teach it, then picks that route from the touchscreen and lets the robot repeat it. Sam's Club put one in every one of its nearly 600 U.S. stores.[1]

Floor

Avidbots Neo 2W

The Canadian maker's warehouse version of its Neo 2 scrubber is built for factories and distribution centers. It can clean up to 42,000 square feet an hour, uses machine learning to spot pallets and forklift tines on the floor, and has a Debris Diverter that pushes loose debris away from its wheels and vacuum hose.[2]

Floor

Gausium Omnie

Gausium unveiled Omnie at the ISSA Show North America in November 2024 as the next step after its award-winning Scrubber 50. Its AI spot cleaning picks out both dry litter and wet spills, and the robot has since been rolled out at Milan's airports ahead of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and in French Auchan supermarkets.[3]

Floor

Roborock Saros Z70

The one home robot on this list. Shown at CES 2025, Roborock's flagship vacuum has a foldable five-axis arm, called OmniGrip, that unfolds from its 7.98 cm body to move socks, tissues and other items up to 300 g out of its way. It also offers 22,000 Pa of suction and recognizes 108 common household obstacles.[4]

Window & facade

Ozmo (Skyline Robotics)

In 2024 Ozmo became what Skyline calls the first robot to clean skyscraper windows full time, working the 45-story 1133 Avenue of the Americas tower in Manhattan for the Durst Organization. Two KUKA industrial arms hang from a standard window-washing platform, using lidar, computer vision and force sensors to clean up to three times faster than a human crew.[5]

Window & facade

Lucid Bots Sherpa

This North Carolina-built hexacopter is a pressure washer that flies. It sprays at up to 4,500 PSI (about 300 PSI for windows) and copes with winds up to 18 mph. By early 2026, more than 400 operators in over 40 states were using it, and a 2026 rooftop pulley system called Sherpa HighLine let it clean 280 feet above the ground.[6]

Window & facade

Ecovacs Winbot W2S Pro Omni

Ecovacs' newest window robot launched at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Its four-corner TruEdge 2.0 scrubbing cleans up to 46% faster than the previous model, and its carry-around Omni station holds a 5,200 mAh battery good for about 110 minutes without a power cord.[7]

Solar panel

Ecoppia H4

Dust can cut a desert solar farm's output a lot, and washing panels with water is expensive where water is scarce. The Israeli maker's H4 cleans without water, using microfiber dusters in a spiral "helix" motion plus airflow to push dust off the panels. It works on both fixed-tilt and tracker rows, covers up to 2 km per robot and clears 1 km in under an hour.[8]
