LG Electronics USA has launched a commercial-grade robotic vacuum cleaner, designed in partnership with Marriott Design Lab, to improve cleaning efficiency in the hospitality industry. Following successful trials at Marriott International properties, the device is now available for hotel operators.
Michael Kosla, Senior Vice President of LG Electronics USA, highlighted the collaboration’s impact: “This innovation enhances automated floor cleaning in hotels, helping staff maintain clean corridors and meeting spaces. As demand for commercial robotic vacuum cleaners grows, we are excited to work with Marriott Design Lab to bring more advanced solutions to the market.”
Built for large-scale commercial spaces, the LG Robotic Vacuum Cleaner boasts powerful suction and exceptional edge cleaning, making it ideal for hotel corridors and banquet halls. It operates overnight to reduce guest disruption and uses LiDAR and Vision Fusion SLAM sensor technology for precise navigation, even in complex environments. Each hotel can customise cleaning maps to maximise efficiency.
The robot has a spacious 3-litre dustbin capable of handling waste and dust that combines suction with sweeping functions for thorough cleaning. A cloud-based management system and multi-language mobile app allow hotel operators to monitor cleaning progress, battery levels, location, and other key data points. Additionally, the robot generates a statistical report to improve operational aspects.
Robert Guidice, Chief Global Operations Officer for Marriott International, explained the significance of the partnership: “This collaboration helps hotel teams work smarter. By developing and testing innovative solutions together, we aim to enhance efficiency and service standards across the industry.”
The Marriott Design Lab serves as a hub for researching and developing technology-driven solutions to improve hotel operations, optimise energy use, and enhance guest experiences. LG has a long-standing relationship with Marriott as a supplier of hotel televisions, and this latest partnership aims to introduce more early-stage innovations to meet the growing needs of modern travellers.
With this robotic vacuum cleaner, LG is helping to improve hotel cleaning and support hospitality professionals in maintaining high-quality environments for guests.
