Autonomous Floor Scrubber |
Operated autonomously or manually |
Power Trio: Nilfisk, Thoro, & Carnegie Robotics |
Transforming Efficiency with Labor Hours Saved |
The Partnership of Productivity |
Three lean motivated companies developing an autonomous solution. Researched and developed with ease of use and productivity in mind. The fully autonomous SC50 co-bot was designed for users, not engineers. |
Carnegie Robotics partnered with Nilfisk and Thoro to build an advanced and intuitive autonomous floor cleaning robot. The Liberty SC50 is the first product that will result from this collaboration. The SC50 is a stand-on scrubber/dryer that can be operated autonomously or manually and features two operating modes. In Copy Cat mode, the operator trains the autonomy system by cleaning a space manually. The SC50 then replays those paths autonomously, allowing the operator to perform other activities nearby. With Fill-In mode, the operator drives the room perimeter and the SC50 automatically plans a path to clean the interior of the space. |
Safety Certified, Inside and Out |
Intense research and development combined with strict guidelines and a proprietary sensor and software suite, the scrubber/dryer recognizes unknown obstacles as small as a tennis ball and then automatically maneuvers around them, making the Liberty SC50 safe the only 3rd party safety certified autonomous floor cleaning system. |
Autonomy Module |
The Autonomy Module serves as the intelligent hub of the SC50, orchestrating precise navigation and operational tasks with unparalleled reliability. It has undergone extensive safety certification processes, guaranteeing its robust performance in diverse operational environments. |
Hokuyo Safety Laser |
Complementing the Autonomy Moudle are two Hokuyo Safety Laser, a pivotal component that ensures the scrubber's awareness of its surroundings with exceptional accuracy. Hokuyo Safety Lasers are safety-certified, assuring you of its reliability in detecting obstacles and navigating complex spaces without compromise. These certifications are a testament to our commitment to providing you with a AMR/AGV that not only delivers superior cleaning performance but also prioritizes safety at every level. You can trust that our equipment meets the highest industry standards, giving you peace of mind and confidence in its operation. |
Drop In Autonomy Proven |
SC50’s autonomy is powered by Carnegie Robotics drop in autonomy kit, optimized to operate Nilfisk scrubbers. Since deployment in 2018, this system has logged over 4,000,0000 hours of accident free autonomy. Engineered for camera, laser and safety sensor input while providing CPU and GPU processing to support full-stack autonomy applications. Its multiple sensing modalities support different perception functions (positioning, obstacle detection and avoidance, drop-off and people detection, etc.) and autonomous operation in different interior spaces with varying size, floor, wall types, and lighting conditions. CR applied a proven simultaneous, localization, and mapping (SLAM) algorithm that underpins its industry-leading GPS-denied position estimation technology. |

Industrial Floor Cleaning RobotOur commitment to revolutionizing the field of autonomous robotics is characterized through our game-changing projects and achieving full rate robotics production. The development of the Nilfisk Liberty SC50 Robotic Floor Cleaner proves to be a prime example of this. Designed to serve diverse environments from schools to shopping malls, this industrial cleaning robot not only demonstrates our proficiency in Robotics OEM partnership but also highlights how our technology can enhance everyday operations. The Nilfisk Liberty SC50 is not just an autonomous floor scrubber; it's a testimony to our expertise in combining state-of-the-art robotics with practical, real-world applications. This advanced cleaning robot capitalizes on 3D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology developed by Carnegie Robotics, which uses our advanced SLAM algorithms. These algorithms integrate seamlessly with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning to enable optimal navigation and precise fleet tracking. Users can also program cleaning patterns to ensure efficient and consistent cleaning across different space layouts. Reliability and safety are the cornerstones of our operation at Carnegie Robotics. The Nilfisk Liberty SC50, for instance, has achieved certifications from Intertek and meets CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 336-17. This demonstrates that the Liberty SC50 complies with some of the top safety standards in both the United States and Europe. It's the testament of our promise to deliver high-quality, safe robotics solutions. At Carnegie Robotics, we take pride in the performance of our autonomous systems. The Liberty SC50’s ‘follow scrubber’ and ‘fill-in scrubber’ functionalities, alongside mission programming capabilities ensure unrivaled performance. This commitment to delivering best-in-class performance sets us apart in the field of robotics technologies. So why should you choose Carnegie Robotics for your robotics platform development? We bring to the table not only our comprehensive technological expertise but also a commitment to safety, performance, and real-world practicality. Whether you're seeking an autonomous scrubber for a school, mall, warehouse, airport, or sporting facility, our knowledge, craftsmanship, and dependability make us the ideal partner. |
