Preferred Robotics announced that its AI and autonomous mobility software has been adopted in Amano's new commercial robot vacuum cleaner RAPiiTT, released July 16, 2026. The robot supports elevator and security system integration for autonomous cleaning across multiple floors, addressing labor shortages in the cleaning industry.
Preferred Robotics' AI and autonomous mobility software, previously used in the HAPiiBOT floor washing robot and the KachaKa transport robot, now powers Amano's new dry-type commercial vacuum cleaner RAPiiTT. The robot can clean across multiple floors by linking with elevators and security systems, reducing the need for manual transport between levels. Amano says the unit achieves a maximum cleaning width of 500 mm with a cyclone dust collection system, and its noise reduction design makes it suitable for quiet environments like offices. The battery is user-replaceable and supports automatic charging. RAPiiTT went on sale July 16 at an open price.
