AI cleaning robot testing in Japanese real estate

Overview

Nittetsu Kowa Real Estate and JDSC have initiated a demonstration project in Japan to test ‘Loki’, a physical AI cleaning robot developed by Swiss-based Loki Robotics. The trial focuses on evaluating the robot’s performance within Japanese office buildings and specific toilet environments.

The project aims to verify remote management systems, operational workflows, and the coordination between human staff and robotic units. To facilitate this, Nittetsu Kowa Real Estate Group and JDSC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SoftBank Robotics to assist with robot procurement and remote verification infrastructure. The partners intend to use data from this phase to create a practical cleaning robot model for the building management sector and explore expansion across Japan.
