Compact Autonomous Scrubbing for Tight Spaces

The ICE Cobotics Cobi 18 is a compact autonomous scrubber built for retail, grocery, healthcare, and hospitality floors where space is tight. It cleans an 18.8 inch path at up to 7,000 square feet an hour, learns routes by example, and uses onboard sensors to detect people and obstacles as it works.

Available New

Teach-and-repeat routing

A route is taught once by guiding the machine through it, then repeated automatically on demand.

Edge-reaching side brushes

Side brushes extend beyond the body so the machine can scrub close to walls, shelving, and displays.

i-SYNERGY fleet tracking

Cloud software reports cleaning performance, maintenance alerts, and a clean score across sites.

Auto-fill perimeter mode

Tracing a room's perimeter lets Cobi 18 work out and scrub the interior on its own.

Manual mode for spills

The handle can be raised to push the scrubber by hand for immediate spot cleaning.

Battery powered

Battery powered machines are ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, providing a compact and efficient cleaning solution.

2 hour battery runtime

The battery runtime is the amount of time the machine can run on a single charge.

18.8" cleaning path

The wider the cleaning path, the more area the machine can clean in a single pass while being more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

Cylindrical brush system

Cylindrical brush systems use counter-rotating brushes and include a debris collection tray—perfect for rough or uneven surfaces where sweeping and scrubbing are needed at once.

2.6 gallon capacity

The more solution the machine can hold, the more area it can clean before it has to be re-filled or serviced.

18.8" x 18.8" x 27.5" dimensions

The dimensions shown above are the length by width by height of the machine.

Autonomous operation

Autonomous machines are typically used in larger areas and are ideal for cleaning in open spaces.

The ICE Cobotics Cobi 18 is a compact autonomous scrubber sized for tight aisles and detailed cleaning in retail stores, convenience stores, grocery locations, healthcare facilities, and hospitality settings. Its 18.8 inch cleaning path and side brushes that extend past the body let it scrub close to shelving, displays, and walls, reducing the detail work staff would otherwise do by hand.

Cobi 18 learns its cleaning routes through a teach-and-repeat process: a staff member guides it through a route once, and the machine repeats that route on its own afterward, or a traced perimeter lets it fill in the interior automatically. Its navigation system scans the surrounding environment, including around mirrors and windows, and detects and avoids people and objects in real time using a combination of onboard sensors. Cleaning runs can be scheduled ahead of time, started with one button, or switched to manual mode for spot cleaning.

The scrubber holds a 2.6 gallon solution tank and 2.9 gallon recovery tank, enough for one charge-and-fill cycle to cover roughly 90 to 120 minutes of scrubbing, at a projected rate of 5,000 to 7,000 square feet an hour. Autonomous travel speed reaches up to 1.12 miles per hour, and the machine recharges in about 3 hours on its lithium-ion battery.

Cobi 18 fits best in facilities with frequent foot traffic and hard flooring that benefits from more consistent cleaning passes than a staff schedule alone can provide, and it can run during open hours or after close through the i-SYNERGY fleet tracking software.
