About
About Gausium
Gausium, formerly Gaussian Robotics, develops autonomous commercial cleaning robots for retail, transport, hospitality, healthcare, education and industrial facilities. Its range covers scrubbing, sweeping, vacuuming, sanitation and combined cleaning tasks in both open areas and constrained indoor spaces.
Lidar, cameras and onboard planning let robots map facilities, avoid obstacles and adapt routes around live traffic. Fleet and cloud tools schedule work, monitor performance and provide cleaning records across multiple sites. Gausium supplies the machines through regional partners and combines deployment, training and after-sales service with software updates and operational analytics for commercial fleets.
