i-team co-botic 65 · specs, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The i-team co-botic 65 is an autonomous ride-on scrubber (driven or robotic) for large open areas, logistics, manufacturing and retail, first shown at the end of 2022. It scrubs a 610 mm path with 25 kg of brush pressure, carries 58 L of water and posts the best observed productivity in the i-team range (1,400 m²/h). Two limitations: a runtime of only 80 minutes, and 2D camera navigation with no LiDAR. Price and availability on request.

Technical data
Fit by environment
Floors and soiling
A ride-on scrubber for hard floors: stubborn, wet soiling on large open areas, in logistics and manufacturing. No carpet. Large debris must be swept up beforehand. Its high observed productivity suits it to deep scrubbing of large unobstructed floors.
What the manufacturer does not say
The 80-minute runtime is the real constraint. The best productivity in the range comes at the price of a short runtime: without spare batteries, the shift is limited.
No LiDAR. 2D camera mapping is less robust than multi-sensor navigation: to be assessed on complex or high-traffic sites.
A ride-on first and foremost. It can also be driven manually, which provides a fallback, but that implies an operator's seat. Cost structure: machine + spare batteries + consumables.
Buying or contracting out
If you buy (capex), the best productivity in the range comes with an 80-minute runtime and camera navigation without LiDAR, which is less robust on complex sites: two limitations to build in. Under a full-service contract (opex), the contractor manages the battery rotations across the shift and carries the continuity commitment. See the Pudu range and the on-site demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Best observed productivity in the i-team range (1,400 m²/h).
- High brush pressure (25 kg), retracting cylindrical brush.
- Ride-on, driven or autonomous; distributed through the i-team network.
Limitations
- 80-minute runtime: the shortest of the i-team models we cover.
- No LiDAR (2D camera mapping).
- 2,500 mm turning radius, no docking station.
Alternatives
- In the i-team range: the co-botic 45 (compact) for smaller floor areas.
- Against large-area scrubbers: the Kärcher KIRA B 50 and the Gausium Scrubber 75.
