Avidbots Corp.

Avidbots Corp. is headquartered in Kitchener, in Canada's Ontario, and was founded in 2014 by Pablo Molina and Faizan Sheikh. It has to be said right away that this is a one-product company: its entire offering in our catalog comes down to Avidbots Neo 2, an autonomous industrial and commercial floor scrubber. Anyone looking for a full model list or later generations will not find them, because the manufacturer shows no wider catalog.

Avidbots aims Neo 2 at warehouses, airports and shopping centers. The company states that it is present on five continents but does not disclose the number of deployed units or revenue, so the scale of that presence cannot be checked.

The company's development history ends, essentially, with its founding and its current product. There are no announced funding rounds or valuation. Instead of dates and sums we have a business model that says a lot about strategy in itself: the robot is not sold as a one-off but on a capex-plus-annual-service-fee basis. For more on how such machines fit into the cleaning market, see “Commercial Cleaning Robots in Practice”.

Avidbots' portfolio is a single robot today, but a well-described one. According to the manufacturer, Avidbots Neo 2 cleans up to 3,900 m² per hour, stands 137 cm tall and weighs 581 kg. It is a machine with the weight of a light delivery van, not a household vacuum, and that shows in every parameter. The segment it works in is large-area cleaning, that is, service robots in the heavy class.

In the comparison data of a third-party aggregator service, Neo 2's price is around USD 50,000, which at the exchange rate used in our catalog comes to about PLN 193,800 (≈ EUR 44,410 at NBP rate 4.3641 of 21 October 2026). We treat this as a reference point, not a price list: the manufacturer itself publishes no open price list and requires direct contact with sales. More important than the list price is the annual fee, because that is what determines the real cost of ownership.

We explain how to read such figures in the guide “How to Read a Robot Datasheet”: area per hour is a theoretical value, and in practice what counts is transit, charging and turning. For comparison, put Neo 2 next to the Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro and the Nilfisk Liberty SC50, which belong to the same class of cleaning machines. The uses Avidbots points to are above all the warehouse and retail.

Avidbots' funding and valuation are not disclosed, so we give no figure and do not judge its position on the basis of investment rounds. We also do not know the headcount or the number of robots in the field. What we do have is a claim of presence on five continents and a clearly described sales model: capex plus an annual service fee. It is closer to leasing than to purchase, which changes how profitability is calculated.

Against this background, the competing Brain stands out. Brain Corp of San Diego does not build its own machines; it supplies the BrainOS platform, which powers more than 10,000 cleaning robots, including those of Tennant and Kärcher. Avidbots takes the opposite route: it produces a complete robot together with the software. Nilfisk and Gausium, meanwhile, have their own cleaning-machine models in the catalog, listed above. Which of them has the advantage depends on the facility, not on a general classification.

Avidbots' presence in Poland is unconfirmed: we have no confirmed distributor, no deployment at a Polish customer and no Polish price. We therefore attribute no Polish references to the company.

The practical consequence is simple. A Polish hall considering Neo 2 would have to enter direct commercial contact with the manufacturer, which means questions about service, response time and parts availability. It is then worth checking who in the country actually sells and services machines of this class, and consulting “Polish Robotics Companies” to see which companies operate on the Polish market.

Neo 2 is a proposition for operators of very large facilities who count cost over the life cycle rather than in a one-off purchase. A buyer in Poland, however, gets a machine with no open price list, no confirmed service in the country and no public data on the company's funding. Before deciding, compare it with the Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro and ask for a written quote. Anyone planning a purchase should ask about the size of the annual fee, the scope of service and the response time, because those decide the costs in the years that follow.
