As commercial environments grow increasingly reliant on autonomous technology in core operations, the ability for robots to intelligently adapt is critical to scaling automation.
Brain Corp, the real-world AI company, has announced the release of BrainOS Clean 2.0, a major new software update designed to elevate how Tennant Company robotic floor cleaners operate, adapt, and integrate into existing workflows through advanced contextual awareness.
Having pioneered the commercial adoption of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at scale by enabling partners to bring to market enterprise-grade solutions that are easy to deploy and operate, Brain Corp is continuing to advance its automation platform with the introduction of SelfPath AI.
Featured in the BrainOS Clean 2.0 release, SelfPath AI enables Tennant’s X-series robotic floor cleaners to autonomously generate and adjust their own routes, continuously adapting to changing environments to deliver improved productivity and coverage, without the need for manual route training.
“BrainOS Clean 2.0 and the introduction of SelfPath AI deliver immediate commercial value: deployments happen faster, route retraining is eliminated, and cleaning performance is improved in dynamic environments,” said David Pinn, CEO of Brain Corp.
“It’s a strong example of how our autonomy platform enables our partners to deploy AI to solve real-world operational challenges at scale.”
Measured operational impact
Across initial deployments, BrainOS Clean 2.0 delivered tangible, measurable operational improvements, including:
- Expanded Coverage (+22 percent): Autonomously assessing the environment to adjust floor coverage, removing the constraints of discrete manually taught routes and creating low-redundancy cleaning paths that prioritize unique areas.
- Improved Autonomy (+55 percent): Dynamically adapting paths and reducing the need for manual interventions.
- Faster Deployments (>3x faster): Eliminating the burden of manual route training or retraining, allowing fleets to be up and running sooner and maintain high performance over time.
What BrainOS Clean 2.0 delivers
BrainOS Clean 2.0 combines autonomous path planning with enhanced AI autonomy, visual intelligence, and workflow integration to dramatically improve robotic performance.
Key capabilities include:
- SelfPath AI: Removing the need for manual route training by allowing robots to independently plan and refine their cleaning paths in complex environments.
- Enhanced visual perception: Empowering robots to build a contextual understanding of their environment, driving both performance and safety.
- Dynamic replanning and recovery: Enabling robots to instantly reroute around blocked aisles and unexpected obstacles without stopping.
- Workflow-aware automation: Supporting seamless integration into existing facility operations, including automatic charging, schedule-based operation, and an understanding of key points of interest.
Together, these capabilities allow robots to cover more space, operate more consistently, and require less day-to-day staff involvement.
“Our customers operate in dynamic environments that evolve constantly, and their cleaning technology needs to keep pace,” said Pat Schottler, SVP of Tennant Company Robotics.
“Brain Corp’s latest AI advancements unlock a new level of intelligence for our machines. By enabling continuous adaptation to real-world conditions, BrainOS Clean 2.0 allows us to deliver a more responsive and efficient autonomous solution for our customers.”
Availability
BrainOS Clean 2.0 will begin rolling out the week of April 6 to select Tennant X-series robotic floor cleaners, with full fleetwide availability across the X-series in May.
