The Robotics Platform Behind the Next Generation of Cleaning Automation
PickNik provides the robotics software, expertise, and proven process to take your cleaning automation concept to market faster.
Your autonomous cleaning system must work safely and consistently in dynamic, real-world environments.
PickNik helps you build production-ready cleaning systems that adapt, scale, and perform where it matters most.
Robots that Work in the Real World
Unpredictable environments
People move through spaces. Equipment shifts. Layouts change. Safety and coverage requirements remain high.
Consistent, repeatable results
For robotic cleaning to succeed, systems must deliver consistent, repeatable results while adapting to real-world conditions — not controlled demos.
Built for production from day one
Reliability depends on intelligent motion, autonomy, and a development approach built for production from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
One PickNik customer had two decades of expertise in cleaning equipment but no robotics team. Rather than spending years building motion planning, computer vision, and autonomy software from scratch, they partnered with PickNik and focused on what they knew: the cleaning application itself.
PickNik handled the robotics foundation. The result was a production-ready robot in under 12 months that achieved human cleaning speed with better sanitation results.
Building a production-grade robotics stack from scratch typically takes 3 to 5 years and requires a team of specialized engineers including motion planning experts, perception engineers, and controls specialists who are expensive and hard to hire. MoveIt Pro gives you that foundation on day one. You're not paying to reinvent something that already exists. You're paying to apply it to your specific cleaning application, which is where your competitive advantage actually lives.
Yes, that's often the best stage to engage. PickNik offers a Solution Study as a low-risk starting point: a structured assessment of your application, environment, and hardware that produces a clear feasibility roadmap. It answers the question "can this be built, and what would it take?" before you commit to full development. Many of PickNik's most successful customer relationships started at exactly this stage.
That's precisely the category of problem MoveIt Pro was designed for. One of PickNik's cleaning customers operates in wet, stainless-steel food processing facilities with highly reflective surfaces, one of the most sensor-hostile environments imaginable. PickNik solved it. The term for this is unstructured robotics, referring to environments that are dynamic, variable, and unpredictable. It's PickNik's core specialty, not an edge case.
The honest answer is that it depends on application complexity, hardware, and how far along you already are. The best starting point is a Solution Study, which scopes your specific situation and gives you a real cost picture before any major commitment. What most customers find is that the build-vs-buy math strongly favors partnering with PickNik. The alternative is hiring a full robotics team for several years before you have a sellable product.
Yes. MoveIt Pro is designed to scale. The same software platform that powers a single pilot unit supports fleet deployment across multiple sites. PickNik has helped cleaning equipment companies go beyond a single installation to scalable commercial operations. The platform grows with your business rather than requiring a rebuild when you're ready to scale.
