KEMARO (short for Kehrmaschinen-Roboter, or sweeping robots) was born from a vision to revolutionize facility maintenance.

After dedicating over 5,000 days of intensive R&D to develop the world’s first autonomous industrial dry-sweeper, we have successfully expanded our footprint from Switzerland to the United States.
