At Interclean Amsterdam 2026, KEENON Robotics demonstrated how advanced automation is transforming facility management through its focus on sustainable intelligence and coordinated multi-robot systems. With ongoing labor gaps, increasing operational demands, and rising expectations for consistent performance, the company introduced a professional cleaning fleet designed to deliver greater autonomy, scalability, and efficiency.

One of the standout innovations was KEENON’s AI-powered patrol inspection system. This feature enables robots to detect both dry and wet waste, automatically adjust cleaning modes, and determine the most efficient response routes. As a result, cleaning operations are no longer confined to preset paths, allowing for more flexible and real-time responsiveness.

KEENON also presented its KLEENBOT range as a versatile solution tailored to various commercial environments. The KLEENBOT C55 is built for expansive areas exceeding 3,000 square meters, providing high capacity, extended runtime, and wide coverage—ideal for factories and logistics centers. For mid-sized venues such as supermarkets, offices, hotels, and hospitals, the KLEENBOT C40 offers an innovative dry-wet separation system. Its triple-brush design allows simultaneous handling of dry and liquid waste, reducing odor issues, simplifying wastewater maintenance, and boosting overall cleaning performance. Meanwhile, the KLEENBOT C30 is suited for premium indoor spaces, delivering a quieter, waterless cleaning approach suitable for delicate surfaces like marble and carpets.

Beyond individual machines, KEENON emphasized the strength of multi-robot collaboration. Its ecosystem includes cleaning, delivery, and humanoid robots that can operate in coordinated fleets, improving service speed and adaptability in complex environments. Whether deploying large numbers of robots within a single site or integrating diverse robot types across multiple functions, KEENON has demonstrated scalable and efficient multi-robot operations.

The company concluded by highlighting its broader vision: integrating specialized service robots with general-purpose humanoid systems. With over 16 years of experience in robotics, KEENON continues to expand real-world applications while working toward its long-term ambition of “10 Billion + 1 Robot,” a future where each individual is supported by a robotic assistant.

UltraSense Systems has unveiled a new ultrasound-driven tactile intelligence platform aimed at advancing Physical AI. This solution introduces a protected, subsurface sensing design that enables durable, high-resolution touch perception for robots and smart machines. Evaluation kits will be available to customers starting June 1, 2026 for testing and integration.

As robotics increasingly enters real-world environments, the importance of touch sensing is becoming more evident. Physical AI systems require more than visual input—they must accurately detect contact, determine its location, assess applied force, and respond effectively during tasks like gripping, handling, and releasing objects. However, many conventional tactile technologies fall short because their sensors are positioned at or near the surface, making them vulnerable to wear, friction, and environmental damage over time.

To address this, UltraSense has adopted a different design strategy. Instead of relying on exposed sensing components, its platform uses ultrasound to sense through layers of material, keeping the sensing core safely beneath the surface. By interpreting acoustic feedback signals, the system can identify touch events, pinpoint interaction zones, and estimate force-related dynamics, all while minimizing direct stress on the sensor itself.

According to CEO Mo Maghsoudnia, the next generation of Physical AI will depend on tactile sensing that combines sensitivity with long-term durability. He emphasized that the real challenge lies not just in detecting initial contact in controlled settings, but in consistently delivering reliable tactile data in environments where frequent contact occurs. The company’s ultrasound-based approach is designed to safeguard the sensing element, maintain signal quality, and offer a distinct alternative to traditional surface-level solutions.

UltraSense is focusing on use cases including humanoid robotic hands, grippers, industrial automation tools, and other applications involving frequent physical interaction. The platform builds on the company’s experience in automotive-grade manufacturing, with over four million units shipped and a track record of delivering AEC-Q100-qualified products to demanding clients.
