Which Floor Cleaning Robot is Right for Your Facility?

As more facilities shift toward automation, autonomous floor cleaning robots have stepped into the spotlight, and for good reason. They offer facilities of all sizes improved efficiency, real-time data, and consistent cleanliness with minimal human intervention. Whether you're managing a hospital, warehouse, school, or office building, choosing the right robot means matching the machine’s capabilities to your facility’s specific needs.
In this roundup, we’re highlighting the various units that make up the Pringle Robotics suite of autonomous floor cleaning robots—each tailored for different environments and workflows.
Pudu CC1 – The All-in-One Compact Cleaner
The CC1 is a versatile 4-in-1 robot built for sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and mopping. Compact and nimble, it’s perfect for smaller commercial spaces needing flexibility without sacrificing power.
Key Features:
- Covers 6,000-8,000 sq ft per hour
- Multifunctional and built for both low-pile carpet and hard floors
- Switch between functions with one click
- 4 gal clean water tank + 4 gal recovery tank
- Automatic recharging and drainage with optional workstation
- Real-time path optimization with SLAM and LIDAR
- 3D Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance
- Quiet operation—ideal for open hours cleaning
Best For:
Convenience stores and other retail, hotels, offices, schools, healthcare facilities and assisted living facilities.
CC3 – Mid-Sized Efficiency with Heavy-Duty Performance
A step up in size and tank capacity, the 20-inch CC3 autonomous scrubber balances maneuverability with increased cleaning coverage for a variety of hard flooring surfaces. It’s well-suited for larger facilities that need higher coverage while still navigating moderately tight spaces. With both wet and dry cleaning modes for scrubbing and sweeping, the CC3 is ideal for most types of hard flooring. Sleeker, more nimble, and less obtrusive than other autonomous floor scrubbers, it sacrifices nothing when it comes to cleaning prowess. Self charging and auto water refilling/dumping improve efficiency and ease of use.
Key Features:

- Wet and dry cleaning modes for hard floors
- 11 gal clean water tank + 8 gal waste water tank
- Recycles dirty water to extend cleaning time
- Auto workstation included to automatically dump dirty water, replenish clean water, and charge
- Real-time path optimization with SLAM and LIDAR
- 3D Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance
Best For:
Large lobbies, museums, educational buildings, convention centers, small hospitals, and corporate campuses.
CC5 – High-Capacity, High-Speed Industrial Scrubber
The CC5 is a heavy-duty 32-inch industrial scrubber built to take on expansive flooring areas with minimal downtime. It’s equipped with large water tanks and a dual-brush system for high productivity. CC5 effectively cleans most types of hard floors and is equipped with the most advanced environmental sensing, automatic mapping, autonomous cleaning, and self-maintenance technology.
Key Features:
- Can clean up to 40,000 sq ft per hour
- 40 gal clean water tank and 45 gal recovery tank for longer cleaning cycles

- Automates floor cleaning of warehouse and industrial spaces with ease
Best For:
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, transportation hubs
Pudu SH1 – Intelligent Upright Scrubber-Dryer
The SH1 isn’t technically an autonomous cleaning robot, but it is a revolutionary new take on the walk-behind scrubber. This innovative upright scrubber-dryer is engineered specifically for greasy environments such as commercial kitchens, or those not suitable for larger units, such as restrooms or complex food service layouts. Bridging the gap between the thorough cleaning of a traditional walk-behind scrubber-dryer and the lightweight user-friendliness of a mop, the SH1 enables effortless, professional-level floor care for all users.
Key Features:
- Modular, quick-release design
- Instant scrub and dry capability
- Vertical surface and hard-to-reach cleaning
- 360° surround cleaning and edge cleaning
- Ergonomic and functional design
- Touchscreen Interface
- 18 Ah battery
Best For:
Restaurants, commercial kitchens, public restrooms, smaller retail facilities
Pudu MT1 – AI-Powered Robotic Sweeper
The MT1 is the world's first AI-powered autonomous sweeper designed for large-scale commercial and industrial environments. It detects, recognizes and sweeps all types of debris through AI deep learning and database updates. Low-profile, fast, and sleek, the MT1 autonomously battles dust and debris within a wide variety of settings—from community sports courts to busy distribution centers.
Key Features:
- 9 gal trash bin capacity
- 28” sweeping path
- AI visual trash recognition
- AI spot cleaning
- Modular design for easy debris removal
- Lidar SLAM + VSLAM integrated positioning
- 3D depth perception and multi-sensor fusion to navigate complex environments
- High-flow negative pressure ventilation for active dust control
- IoT-ready to integrate with elevators, gates and other infrastructure for multi-floor cleaning
Best For:
Sports facilities and courts, schools, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers
TN70 – Industrial-Grade Disc Scrubber for Large Facilities
The TN70 is a high-end disc brush robotic cleaner that combines powerful mechanical cleaning with AI-driven autonomy. Designed for deep scrubbing and industrial-level dust mopping, it excels in large, high-traffic spaces.
Key Features:
- Cleans up to 22,000 sq ft per hour
- 20” disc brushes with quiet dust mop system
- 13.2 gallon solution tank and 18.5-gallon recovery tank
- 3.6 hours of scrubbing / 12 hours of dust mopping per charge
