Pilot with cleaning robot in the Gorlaeus Building

18 November 2025

From 26 November, the UFB will start a pilot with a robotic scrubber-dryer in the Gorlaeus Building. The robot helps keep the corridors and the atrium clean — areas where many metres can be covered without obstacles.

The machine operates independently and navigates around people and objects. If the robot is obstructed, it stops automatically. The pilot will run for 2 to 3 weeks.

If you have any questions or notice anything during the pilot, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@science.leidenuniv.nl or drop by the desk.
