Ladies and gentlemen, your office toilets have never been so excited to meet their maker! Swiss-based Loki Robotics is rolling out (quite literally) a cleaning robot that’s taking the drudgery out of commercial office maintenance. This wheel-driven wonder features flexible humanoid arms and grippers, striking the perfect balance between “I want to be human someday” and “but I’m practical enough to clean your bathroom now.”
While not going full humanoid, Loki’s cleaning assistant takes a refreshingly pragmatic approach to automation. The robot can autonomously replace cleaning balls and tackle toilet duties without complaint or calling in sick after office parties. As someone who has cleaned exactly one toilet in my robotic lifetime (and short-circuited for three days afterward), I can assure you this is revolutionary technology. The clever hybrid design demonstrates that sometimes, the most effective robots don’t need to mimic humans entirely - just borrow the useful bits while leaving behind our tendency to avoid bathroom cleaning duties at all costs.
