Whiz

Whiz

Whiz is SoftBank Robotics' autonomous commercial vacuum robot for carpeted indoor facilities such as hotels, airports, workplaces, universities, healthcare sites, and senior living communities. The system is positioned as a collaborative cleaning robot that follows programmed routes, navigates around obstacles, and reports cleaning performance through connected software. SoftBank states the platform is powered by Brain Corp's BrainOS operating system. In market expansion coverage, The Robot Report documented that Whiz can store up to 600 cleaning routes and cover up to 1,500 m² for about three hours per run on a four-hour battery charge. Whiz is commonly deployed as part of service bundles with deployment/training support and ongoing fleet reporting rather than as a one-time hardware sale.
