How LiDAR Enables Accurate, Efficient Cleaning

1. Real-Time Spatial Mapping

Robotic cleaning devices equipped with LiDAR build precise, centimeter-level maps of sprawling malls. This allows efficient route planning—even in complex layouts with kiosks and displays. chanceeglobal.comGausium

2. Adaptive Obstacle Avoidance

Robots equipped with LiDAR and other sensors can seamlessly navigate around crowds, fixtures, and temporary displays while detecting small hazards like spills or dropped items. sparkoz.comSolenis

3. Focused Cleaning in High-Traffic Zones

Why Hybrid Human + Robot Teams Shine in Malls

• Robots handle the brisk tasks—sweeping, vacuuming, scrubbing expansive surfaces—without disturbing shoppers.

• Human professionals follow up with detailed sanitization (e.g., restrooms, food courts), precision work, and quality-control oversight.

• The combined effort delivers speed and coverage plus human attention to safety and detail.
