Phantas Commercial Cleaning Robot

Phantas represents Gaussian Robotics’ flagship compact commercial cleaning robot, designed to deliver thorough floor maintenance through its integration of four distinct cleaning modes within a single compact unit. Widely deployed in hospitals across Europe, Asia, and North America, Phantas has achieved sales exceeding 8,000 units annually, establishing itself as a market leader in autonomous commercial floor cleaning.

Product Overview

Originally launched as “奂影S1” in the Chinese market, Phantas boldly integrates vacuuming, sweeping, scrubbing, and dust mopping capabilities into what Gaussian Robotics describes as the smallest commercial floor cleaning robot in the industry. This versatility enables deployment across spaces with varying flooring types, including both hard surfaces and carpeted areas commonly found in healthcare settings.

The robot’s compact form factor and quiet operation make it particularly suitable for healthcare environments where discretion and patient comfort are priorities. Hospital deployments have demonstrated the system’s ability to navigate complex indoor spaces, perform edge-to-edge cleaning, and return autonomously to charging docks without human intervention.

Key Features

Four-in-One Cleaning Modes: Phantas eliminates the need for multiple specialized machines by combining vacuuming, sweeping, scrubbing, and dust mopping functions. Users can select appropriate modes based on flooring type and cleaning requirements.

Zero-Distance Edge Cleaning: Equipped with side brushes and high-precision sensors, Phantas achieves edge cleaning at zero clearance distance, ensuring full coverage in corners and along walls.

Integrated Handle System: A unique ergonomic handle enables smooth transitions between autonomous and manual operation modes. The handle withstands forces up to 1000N and has been tested for 10,000 opening/closing cycles.

Auto Spot Cleaning: The robot scans floor cleanliness in real-time and autonomously performs targeted spot cleaning when contamination is detected. Waste too large for automated removal triggers operator notifications via the mobile app.

Technical Specifications

Designed for healthcare floor maintenance, Phantas scrubs or dust-mops 950 m²/h and vacuums 1,180 m²/h using visual-LiDAR SLAM with deep learning obstacle detection.

Clinical Applications

Phantas has been deployed in healthcare facilities worldwide for floor maintenance in corridors, lobbies, waiting areas, and other common spaces. Key hospital installations include:

• Alvaro Cunqueiro Hospital (Vigo, Spain) - deployed March 2025
• Waberer Medical Centre (Hungary)
• Multiple facilities in Japan through SoftBank Robotics partnership

In healthcare settings, Phantas handles repetitive floor scrubbing tasks while human cleaning staff focus on high-touch surface disinfection, window cleaning, and other specialized tasks requiring manual attention. This division of labor has demonstrated productivity gains exceeding 83% in documented case studies.

AI and Navigation Technology

Phantas uses Gaussian Robotics’ proprietary deep-learning algorithms trained on millions of real-world images. The system provides:

• Real-time Localization: Continuous position tracking and map updates in dynamic environments
• 3D Environmental Perception: Multi-sensor fusion combining 2D LiDAR, 3D depth cameras, and RGB cameras
• Intelligent Obstacle Recognition: Behavior decisions based on obstacle type and characteristics (e.g., avoiding electric wires rather than passing over them)
• Multiple Path Planning Modes: Zigzag motion, square spiral motion, and customizable cleaning patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of flooring can Phantas clean?

Phantas handles both hard floors and soft flooring (carpets) through its four integrated cleaning modes. Users select appropriate modes based on floor type: scrubbing and dust mopping for hard surfaces, vacuuming for carpets.

Can Phantas dispense disinfectant solution?

Yes, the scrubbing function can use cleaning solutions including disinfectants, making Phantas suitable for healthcare facility sanitization protocols.

How does Phantas compare to Scrubber 50?

Phantas offers greater versatility with four cleaning modes versus Scrubber 50’s three (scrubbing, sweeping, dust mopping). Phantas is also more compact, making it better suited for smaller spaces and areas with obstacles. Scrubber 50 provides higher scrubbing productivity for larger open floor areas.
