Relay Robotics alternatives

Relay Robotics does one job and does it indoors: its robots carry items around hotels, hospitals and commercial buildings so staff stop spending shifts on errands. Based in Campbell, California, the company was formed in May 2022 around the acquisition of Savioke, maker of the original Relay robot, and it reports deployments at chains including Marriott, Hilton, Westin and Radisson as well as hospitals such as Georgetown and Dartmouth, with roughly $17 million raised. If the real workload is floors rather than deliveries, Avidbots of Kitchener, Ontario builds fully autonomous scrubbers for large facilities across five continents, backed by about US$107 million including a US$70 million Series C. Bear Robotics, in Redwood City, California, is the closest cousin in spirit: autonomous mobile robots that move food, drinks and dishes between kitchen and tables in restaurants, hotels and senior living, now majority-owned by LG Electronics. Ecovacs Robotics, the Suzhou group listed in Shanghai, sells cleaning robots at consumer scale under brands such as DEEBOT and WINBOT across more than 145 countries. Gausium, from Shanghai, focuses on autonomous commercial cleaning for retail, hospitality and healthcare sites in over 70 countries. Choose Relay when the bottleneck is carrying things between people; choose one of the cleaning specialists when the bottleneck is the floor itself.
