LionsBot International is a robotics company based in Singapore. We design and build autonomous cleaning robots. We sell them through dealers in more than 40 countries.
It started with a distributor who could not find a robot good enough to sell.
The problem
Selling cleaning equipment showed us what was missing.
Dylan Ng Terntzer and Michelle Seow were the co-founders of SuperSteam Asia Pacific, a leading cleaning supplies distributor in Singapore. They saw that the cleaning robots available around the world were not good enough.
So they built their own, with a robotics professor.
They joined with Rajesh Elara Mohan, a leading robotics professor. Together they designed and built their first cleaning robot themselves, and founded LionsBot in Singapore in 2018.
The name
Singapore is the Lion City, and the name says so.
Singapura means Lion City in Malay. The founders chose the name LionsBot to honour the city they started in, and to show how strongly they believed in new ideas for cleaning.
The first Asian company to win at Interclean Amsterdam.
LionsBot won the Innovation Award at Interclean Amsterdam in 2020.
Today
From zero to 6,000 robots, in more than 40 countries.
Our goal is still the same as it was when we built the first one.
Who we are
Seventy seconds inside LionsBot.
What we make
Robots that clean without an operator.
They wash floors, vacuum and find their own way around airports, hospitals, shopping malls, warehouses and universities. The range is sized for tight indoor spaces through to large open floors.
Where we engineer them
Every robot is engineered in Singapore.
One team, one set of standards, for the whole range.
Our mission
To give cleaners superpowers with easy-to-use, powerful and reliable robots, and make the world a better, cleaner place.
Never stop creating. Never stop improving.
We want to be the best, and we want to stay the best. Each robot we build teaches us how to make the next one better.
The best idea wins.
A good idea can come from anyone in the company. We listen to all of them, and then we build.
We succeed as a team.
Our team comes from many different countries. We work in one place, towards one goal.
We only accept excellent work.
We think carefully about every bolt, nut and wire, on the parts you see and the parts you never see.
How we build
Hands on every robot.
Engineered in Singapore
Who builds them, and who checks us.
Our engineering, testing and quality standards all sit in Singapore.
Designed by specialists.
Engineers from leading universities, advised by professors in robotics, design and mechanical engineering.
Built to waste less.
Every robot is designed to use less water and fewer chemicals.
Independently audited.
Our quality, environmental, safety and security standards are certified by outside bodies.
