Loki Robotics is a Zurich-based robotics startup developing autonomous cleaning robots for commercial facilities. Founded in 2024 by engineers with ties to ETH Zurich, the company focuses on automating physically demanding cleaning tasks in complex environments such as restrooms, kitchens, and other high-contact public spaces. Its robots combine end-to-end learning with teleoperation to perform tasks requiring precise manipulation, tool changes, spraying, scrubbing, and interaction with fixtures. Rather than building general-purpose humanoids, Loki Robotics applies embodied AI to a specialized commercial use case where autonomy can address persistent labor shortages and improve operational efficiency.
On its official site, Loki says its robot is built to swap tools, apply agents with precision, and physically interact with fixtures and objects in high-variation environments. The company frames that work as the first step toward an autonomy backbone for the places where people live, work, and gather.
Loki Robotics was founded in 2024 to build autonomous cleaning robots for commercial restrooms and kitchens. In Roboticos dataset, the company is tracked for bringing end-to-end learning and teleoperation into one of the hardest public-space cleaning workflows.
In May 2025, Moneycab reported that Loki Robotics had raised a CHF 1.6 million pre-seed round led by byFounders, while the company said it had developed a working robot and multiple letters of intent within five months. The round gave Loki an early financial base for turning cleaning autonomy into a commercial product.
