Core offering

Peppermint Robotics designs, manufactures, and sells autonomous floor cleaning robots for commercial and industrial environments. The product portfolio includes compact and large-format scrubber dryers (SD2X, SD4X), a commercial carpet vacuuming robot (VC2X), and an automated docking station (Tru-Dock). All robots are powered by the proprietary Peppermint OS and use LiDAR, depth, and ultrasonic sensors for autonomous navigation, with IEC safety certification and 100% stainless steel construction for industrial use.

Product overview

Peppermint Robotics offers a portfolio of autonomous floor cleaning robots for commercial and industrial applications. The product lineup consists of four main offerings: SD2X (compact scrubber dryer for smaller spaces), SD4X (large-format all-in-one floor scrubber dryer), VC2X (commercial carpet vacuuming robot), and Tru-Dock (automated docking station). The SD-series robots handle floor scrubbing and drying operations while the VC-series handles carpet vacuuming. The Tru-Dock serves as an add-on accessory that enables autonomous charging, water refilling, and wastewater removal for continuous operation. All robots are powered by the proprietary Peppermint OS operating system and feature intelligent navigation with LIDAR, depth sensors, and ultrasonic sensors for autonomous operation.
