The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies SD45, a commercial cleaning by Peppermint Robotics (research). 2 sources back the record.

Overview

Peppermint Robotics (Pune, India, founded 2019) manufactures the SD45, a fully autonomous robotic floor scrubber-dryer powered by the company's proprietary Peppermint OS, which uses LiDAR, depth sensors, and ultrasonic sensors for 360-degree navigation and safety detection. The SD45 can clean 10,000 to 12,000 square feet per hour, operates for up to 8 hours per lithium-ion charge, and uses approximately 50% less electricity and water than a conventional rider floor scrubber. Peppermint Robotics raised INR 34 crore in a Series A round in April 2025 and is expanding to European, Japanese, and Asia-Pacific markets.
