i-team co-botic 45 · specs, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The i-team co-botic 45 is a compact autonomous robotic scrubber for offices, retail, healthcare and local-authority buildings, on floor areas of 200 to 1,500 m². It scrubs with a cylindrical brush, runs for 3 h on a charge and stands out for its recognition of glass, mirrors and depth (it avoids staircases and transparent walls), with a claimed drying time of 10 seconds. Worth knowing: i-team publishes neither the cleaning width, nor the tank capacities, nor the hourly productivity, and there is no LiDAR. Price and availability on request.

Fit by environment
Floors and soiling
A compact robotic scrubber with a cylindrical brush for hard floors: everyday mixed soiling on small and medium floor areas (offices, retail, healthcare). Fast drying claimed (10 s). No carpet. Large debris must be swept up beforehand. Its glass and mirror detection makes it a sound choice in glazed environments.
What the manufacturer does not say
The "1,500 m²" is not a productivity figure. It is a maximum area per cycle (area per charge): the hourly productivity itself is not published. Do not confuse the two when sizing a fleet.
Glass and mirror detection is a genuine strength. Few robots offer it, and it makes a tangible difference in glazed lobbies and offices, where transparent walls trip up navigation.
Many specifications are missing. Cleaning width, tanks, weight and maximum gradient are not published, and there is no LiDAR: obtain and verify them at quotation stage. Cost structure: machine + batteries + consumables.
Buying or contracting out
If you buy (capex), glass and mirror detection makes glazed lobbies safer, but the lack of a published hourly productivity (the 1,500 m² is an area per cycle, not a throughput) makes independent fleet sizing harder. Under a full-service contract (opex), the contractor measures the real throughput and carries the continuity commitment. See the Pudu range and the on-site demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Detection of glass, mirrors and depth: glazed environments.
- Claimed drying in 10 s, silent mode at 65 dBA.
- Compact, distributed through the i-team network.
Limitations
- Cleaning width, tanks and hourly productivity not published.
- No LiDAR.
- No carpet.
Alternatives
- In the i-team range: the co-botic 65 (ride-on, large areas) for bigger volumes.
- Against compact autonomous scrubbers: the Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro and the Pudu CC1 / CC1 Pro.
For a comparison with the Pudu CC1, see the Pudu CC1 profile. To put figures on it: request a quotation, weigh up rental against purchase, or book an on-site demonstration.
