Recently, Robot Insights Forum learned from overseas sources that Gausium Robotics completed its latest Series D funding in mid-May. The commercial cleaning sector, with its exceptional application potential, continues to attract significant capital attention.
Product Segmentation and Market Demand
B2B floor-cleaning robots are categorized by cleaning path width: models with paths under 650mm, 650-800mm, and over 800mm. Key application scenarios include supermarkets, shopping malls, and warehouses.
Technological Drivers of Growth
The integration of AI and IoT technologies enables commercial cleaning robots to navigate complex environments and perform advanced tasks autonomously. The increasing adoption of automation in global industries has fueled demand for floor-cleaning robots, driving remarkable market expansion. Compared to traditional methods, these robots offer higher efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reduced labor dependency, leading to widespread adoption. Analysts project a 16.1% CAGR for the global B2B floor-cleaning robot market from 2024 to 2030, underscoring immense growth potential.
Brand Evolution and Technological Edge
In 2022, Gaussian Robotics rebranded internationally as “Gausium,” a name inspired by mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, whose theories laid the foundation for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)—a core navigation algorithm. Unlike traditional cleaning equipment manufacturers, Gausium leverages its expertise in Visual-LiDAR SLAM, cloud computing, AIoT systems, and mobile applications to dominate the market, posing a disruptive challenge to conventional players.
Strategic Expansion and Global Footprint
Gausium views intelligent robotics as pivotal to the service industry’s digital transformation. Since 2022, the company has expanded its portfolio to include autonomous cleaning robots, the delivery robot “X1,” and the flagship commercial cleaner “Phantas,” building a platform-based ecosystem. Its global strategy has yielded significant results:
- Europe: Over 1,000 units deployed via partnerships.
- Japan: Collaboration with SoftBank Robotics led to 2,000+ Phantas units sold.
- North America: Triple-digit growth, reflecting strong brand appeal.
Record Sales and Future Plans
The Phantas model achieved extraordinary sales, surpassing 8,000 units within a year, cementing Gausium’s leadership in innovation and market penetration. The company aims to achieve profitability in 2024 through enhanced R&D, operational efficiency, and management optimization. Additionally, Gausium plans to build a robust ecosystem centered on strategic partnerships and diversified user scenarios, reshaping industry dynamics through collaborative innovation.
Vision for the Future
Gausium remains committed to revolutionizing commercial cleaning with cutting-edge robotics, striving to deliver unparalleled solutions across diverse environments and applications.
