Socl
Socl is an industrial cleaning robot developed for factory environments. The robot combines the flexibility of service robots with the efficiency and safety of industrial robots. After a cleaning task is entered, Socl scans the factory layout, creates a map and plans a suitable cleaning route. Laser, vision and ultrasonic sensors help the robot avoid obstacles and prevent falls. Socl can also work with elevators and automatic doors, so cleaning is completed without stopping production. A modular design allows functions to be selected according to need.
Socl Industrial Cleaning Robots by Mingxi Li has been selected as a grand example of service design by the A' Design Awards. Socl Industrial Cleaning Robots was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design in 2024. The A' Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which celebrates outstanding design of industrial robots, medical robots, agricultural robots, domestic robots, autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, telepresence robots, underwater robots and more.
