June 2, 2022; A Whiz commercial robot vacuum cleans the carpets in Remick Family Hall. The custodian operator named the unit ‘Rosie’ after the cartoon robot of the Jetsons. Building Services is testing Rosie as part of a pilot to see how much she can help the custodial team complete daily, repetitive vacuuming that allow them to focus on other cleaning and disinfecting tasks. Rosie is currently assigned to work in Remick Family Hall but will probably move to other buildings in the near future as part of the trial. She is programmed to run routes through carpeted areas before 8 a.m. but can work safely around people due to her cameras and lydar sensors. (Photo by Matt Cashore/University of Notre Dame) « less
