Question 1

Does the floor cleaning robot work in large commercial facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AiRK Autonomous Cleaning Robot system is designed for mid-size commercial facilities from 3,000 to 10,000 sqm including malls, airports, hospitals, logistics hubs, and corporate campuses primarily across UAE and India.

It maps the facility, plans optimal cleaning routes, avoids obstacles and people, and returns to its docking station without operator intervention. Cleaning runs can be scheduled during off-hours to minimize disruption.

Question 2

What types of commercial facilities does AiRK deploy cleaning robots in?

Accepted Answer

AiRK deploys autonomous floor cleaning robots in malls and retail environments, airport terminals, hospital corridors and public areas, corporate campuses, and logistics parks. Current deployments focus on UAE and India. The system is suited to facilities with 3,000–10,000 sqm of cleanable floor area.

Question 3

Do you build the hardware yourselves?

Accepted Answer

For the AI Calling Agent: yes it runs on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano platform that we configure, program, and deploy as a complete edge system.

For the Autonomous Cleaning Robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots, and Smart Monitoring Drones: the hardware (robot chassis / drone airframe) is partner-sourced. AiRK's value is the AI orchestration layer, integration, and deployment model. We select the right hardware platform for your environment and load requirements, and we own everything on top: navigation, fleet management, vision AI, and system integration.

Question 4

Which markets do you operate in?

Accepted Answer

India, the UAE, and the USA.

Each market has distinct regulatory, connectivity, and language requirements. Our systems are designed with all three in mind particularly the multilingual capabilities of the calling agent, which reflect the mixed-language reality of logistics operations in the Gulf and South Asia.

Question 5

What languages does the calling agent support?

Accepted Answer

The AI Calling Agent supports seven core languages — English, Arabic, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada — with Urdu available as an additional option for Gulf deployments. It handles bilingual, code-switched conversations that mix Arabic and English or English and Indian languages, as commonly happens in Gulf and South Asian logistics operations.

Question 6

Does the calling agent need the cloud to work?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI Calling Agent runs on-device at the edge. All speech processing (STT and TTS), decision-making, and workflow execution happen on the Jetson platform without a cloud round-trip. Telecom connectivity (SIP/GSM trunk) is arranged separately and is not part of the AiRK system itself.

Question 7

How long does deployment take?

Accepted Answer

AI Calling Agent: typically 2–6 weeks from contract to live calls. Autonomous Cleaning Robots: typically 4–8 weeks for a paid pilot, then phased scale-up. Autonomous Mobile Robots (material movement): typically 8–16 weeks, covering site assessment, facility mapping, hardware delivery and setup, pilot fleet, and scale. Smart Monitoring Drones: typically 4–10 weeks. These are indicative ranges — complex integrations or unusual environments may take longer.

Question 8

Do you offer a pilot before a full deployment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pilots are how we start — defined scope, bounded duration, clear success criteria. We'd rather prove the system works in your environment before committing to scale. Pilot terms are included in the pricing conversation.

Question 9

Are the heavy-payload drone and the go-kart available to buy?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI Drone (10 kg payload) and the AI Electric Go-Kart are R&D / prototype programs. They are not available for purchase, pilot, or deployment.

Question 10

What cleaning tasks can the Autonomous Cleaning Robot perform?

Accepted Answer

AiRK's Autonomous Cleaning Robots perform scrubbing, sweeping, and vacuuming on large hard-floor surfaces — typically commercial facilities from 3,000 to 10,000 sqm. The robots use LiDAR-SLAM and visual SLAM for navigation, operate 3–6.5 hours per charge, and produce a verifiable coverage record for every run. Real-world cleaning throughput is 50–70% of nominal rated capacity, accounting for obstacles, congestion, and facility geometry.

Question 11

What is the RaaS pricing model for Autonomous Cleaning Robots?

Accepted Answer

AiRK offers two commercial models for cleaning robots. Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS): approximately $900–$2,500 per unit per month — includes hardware, software, maintenance, and remote support; no large upfront capital required. CapEx: approximately $15,000–$60,000 per unit as a one-time purchase, plus an annual maintenance contract of roughly 10–12% of the hardware cost. Both include a 4–8 week paid pilot to prove the system works in your specific facility before scaling.

Question 12

How does the cleaning robot verify that it has covered the full facility?

Accepted Answer

Every cleaning run produces a coverage log: a mapped record showing which areas were cleaned, at what time, and with what pass count. This log is accessible via the fleet management dashboard and can be exported for compliance or operations review. The verifiable coverage record is one of the core differentiators versus manual or semi-automated cleaning — it turns cleaning from an asserted task into an auditable one.
