CenoBots L4 Key Features
- SLAM mapping — builds a facility map on first deployment; no QR codes or infrastructure required
- LiDAR obstacle detection — stops automatically for staff, customers, carts, and equipment
- Mission scheduling — automated daily windows via RFM app; no staff required to start or stop
- Remote monitoring — live status, fault alerts, and cleaning logs via RFM fleet management
- Wet recovery system — dirty water contained, not redistributed across floors
- Quiet operation — 62-65 dB allows overnight runs in healthcare and school environments
- 17.7-inch scrub deck — covers standard 10-foot aisles in a single pass
Limitations
- Aisles narrower than 32 inches require the L3
- Dry debris requires a pre-sweep — the L4 is a wet scrubber only
- Hard floors only — no carpet, restrooms, or stairwells
- Floor drain and 120V outlet required for workstation installation
