Gausium Beetle: Commercial Floor Sweeper Robot

The Gausium Beetle is a compact, AI-powered floor cleaning robot designed for commercial and industrial environments. It specializes in dry cleaning—integrating powerful vacuuming and sweeping modes—to provide a comprehensive solution for maintaining large facilities with narrow layouts or complex furniture.

Ideal Applications

The Beetle is perfectly sized to navigate tight spaces that larger machines cannot reach, making it the ideal solution for:

• Retail Stores: Navigating narrow aisles and checkout lanes.
• Office Spaces: Cleaning under desks, in cubicles, and conference rooms.
• Hospitality: Maintaining long hallways, lobbies, and guest lounges.
• Airports & Lounges: Managing debris in high-traffic waiting areas.

Key Features

• Equipped with LiDARs, 3D depth cameras, and RGB cameras, the robot detects obstacles and adjusts its path in real-time.
• Smart Carpet Recognition: The Beetle automatically detects carpeted surfaces and increases suction power to extract deep-seated dust and debris.
• Large Area Coverage: Despite its compact size, the Beetle is engineered for endurance, capable of cleaning over 12,000 sq. ft. per hour.
• Includes integrated handle for manual cleaning; seamlessly toggles between Auto and Manual modes.
• Not Included: Select from Charging Station or Auto-Empty Dock.

Carpet & Large Area Performance:

• Deep Cleaning on Carpet: The Beetle utilizes a specialized main brush roll that agitates carpet fibers to dislodge dust, while dual side brushes sweep edge debris into the suction path. It is effective on low-pile commercial carpets and transitions effortlessly between hard floors and rugs.

• Efficiency for Large Spaces: With a battery life of up to 14 hours (sweeping) and intelligent path planning, the Beetle can cover vast square footage in a single shift. If the battery runs low, it autonomously returns to charge and then resumes cleaning exactly where it left off, ensuring 100% coverage of large floor plans.

Cleaning Efficiency:

• Vacuuming/Sweeping: Up to 12,701 sq. ft./hr*

Artificial Stone (engineered quartz, terrazzo): The Beetle uses smart suction control and soft brush systems safe for polished, synthetic surfaces. Its sweeping and vacuum modes effectively remove dust and debris without scratching delicate finishes.

Granite and Natural Stone: Granite is durable but can be scratched by abrasive grit. The Beetle is designed for non-abrasive dry cleaning, making it a safe option for maintaining sealed granite floors and other natural stone types by removing abrasive particles before they cause damage.

FAQs

1. Product Overview & Application

Q: What is the Gausium Beetle and where is it typically used?

A: The Beetle is a heavy-duty autonomous industrial sweeper designed for large facilities such as warehouses, factories, logistics hubs, and production plants. It is engineered specifically for dusty, high-traffic environments filled with forklifts, pallets, and constantly changing inventory.

Q: Can the Beetle be used outside?

A: Yes, with conditions. The Beetle can be used in selected outdoor industrial areas such as covered loading docks, paved yards, and external warehouse aprons, provided the surfaces are hard and reasonably even.

Note: It is not intended for rough terrain, gravel, unpaved ground, heavy rain, snow, or standing water.

Q: What types of floors can the Beetle clean?

A: The Beetle is built for hard industrial surfaces including concrete, epoxy, bituminous floors, rubble flooring, PVC, and vinyl. It is strictly a dry sweeper/vacuum—it is not a carpet vacuum or a wet floor scrubber.

Q: What kind of debris can it handle?

A: The machine is capable of handling a wide range of industrial waste, including:

• Fine Particulates: Fine dust, sand, and flour.
• Larger Materials: Paper scraps, stretch wrap, cardboard pieces, wood chips, and metal shavings.
• Common Litter: Empty water bottles, soda cans, and packaging wrappers.

2. Performance & Cleaning Capabilities

Q: How much area can the Beetle clean in a shift?

A: In standard sweeping mode, the Beetle can cover tens of thousands of square feet per hour (approx. 40,000 sq. ft/hr). With several hours of runtime on a single charge, one unit can support cleaning strategies for very large facilities when routes and schedules are planned correctly.

Q: How does the Beetle control dust?

A: The Beetle uses a strong airflow system to pull dust and debris into a sealed bin, passing it through a high-efficiency filtration system. This ensures fine dust is not blown back into the air, which is critical for facilities where air quality affects worker safety or product quality.

Q: Can it clean right up to edges and in narrow aisles?

A: Yes. The Beetle is designed for zero-distance edge cleaning, meaning it can sweep along walls, racks, and barriers without leaving a strip of dust. It operates effectively in narrow aisles (cleaning width: 29.5 inches) as long as there is clearance for the body and safe turning.

3. Navigation & Operations

Q: How does the Beetle navigate and avoid obstacles?

A: The robot uses 3D LiDAR and RGB cameras to build a map of the facility and locate itself in real-time. It detects racks, pallets, forklifts, people, and other obstacles, choosing safe paths around them. It is designed to operate in low-light aisles, busy loading zones, and wide-open spaces.

Q: Does it provide reports or cleaning data?

A: Yes. The Beetle logs coverage, runtime, alerts, and performance data. This allows facility managers to prove work was completed, optimize schedules, and support internal reporting on cleanliness and efficiency.

Q: How is charging handled?

A: A fully charged Beetle runs for several hours depending on floor conditions.

• Manual Charging: By default, the unit is plugged in manually.
• Autonomous Charging: If you purchase the optional Charging Docking Station (sold separately), the robot will automatically return to the dock when the battery is low, recharge, and resume its task unattended.
