SoftBank Robotics America has launched a new suite of AI-enabled service robots for the commercial cleaning industry, announced in a press release. The expansion includes updated models designed to improve efficiency in dynamic environments such as retail spaces, airports, and senior living facilities.

The new lineup features three robots: Omnie, designed for scrubbing large spaces; V40 2.0, built for vacuuming medium to large areas; and Phantas 1.3, suited for sweeping and light scrubbing in smaller environments. Each model incorporates enhanced computer vision and vision-language models, including 3D LiDAR, to improve spatial awareness and navigation.

SoftBank Robotics America partnered with Gausium to integrate complementary technologies that enable scalable autonomous cleaning solutions. The company said the latest robots reduce the need for human intervention and deliver higher uptime, contributing to more consistent cleaning performance across enterprise environments.

The expanded portfolio now covers a wider range of autonomous cleaning applications, from vacuuming and scrubbing to data-driven performance management, supporting organizations facing labor shortages in service operations.
