It is equipted with water tanks, brushes and tons of other heavy duty tools needed to scrub the dirty floors at the rest area bathrooms. Obstacle detection sensors are built in to allow Lady Bird to safely do it’s thing without running over people’s feet. The robot is also going to be programmed to engage in simple conversations with restroom users. Price? Around $30k
