Following a successful pilot in November/December with the floor-scrubbing robot, the Gorlaeus Building now has its own cleaning robot. The machine was recently delivered and will be programmed for its regular cleaning routes over the coming weeks.

You can expect to see the robot regularly in the corridors and the atrium. It operates autonomously, navigates around people and obstacles and stops automatically if it encounters any obstruction.

If you have any questions or notice anything, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@science.leidenuniv.nl or visit the desk in person.
