A pair of similar-looking robots will start work today - scrubbing floors at the National Gallery Singapore and collecting garbage at the newly opened Jewel Changi Airport.
Created by local manufacturer LionsBot International, these are the first two of its 100 fully autonomous cleaning robots to be rolled out by the end of the year, making it a pioneer in mass producing such machines here as more firms look into automating cleaning.
