The adoption of multi-functional autonomous robots is steadily increasing to support and enhance operational efficiency in the facilities management sector. This technology presents a robot integrated with advanced sensor systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous mobility to perform multiple tasks. As a digital concierge, the robot provides enhanced visitor experience with seamless 2-way communication and an integrated touchscreen to connect with site duty personnel. The same screen can double up as an announcement board for advertisements and alerts, thereby extending a virtual front-desk capability effectively. In the security domain, this robot conducts autonomous patrols with real-time video surveillance and A.I.-based anomaly detection. The security head is embedded with a "brain” to perform on-edge computing to detect security-related used cases, significantly improving safety and accuracy in complex indoor environments. For cleaning, the robot can detect over 30 types of waste with 99% accuracy. Its self-adaptive cleaning system adjusts to floor type and debris volume, while a verification mechanism ensures more effective spot-cleaning compared to conventional single-pass robots.  These Multi-Functional Autonomous Facility Management Robot can yield significant operational savings, increase patrol frequency and shorten response time to incidents. This technology offers a software that features plug-and-play solutions that be customised to specific SOPs and needs. The technology owner is looking for collaborators, such as building owners and integrated facility management companies, with use cases to test-bed AI models. Examples include but not limited to identification of suspicious baggage, illegal parking or stray supermarket trolleys. 

This technology uses Machine Learning and AI algorithms to identify what appliances get plugged in to a building and when they are wasting energy. Plug Power represents 40% of the energy in a commercial building. Half of this energy is wasted with appliances left on when nobody is in the building. When wasted energy is found the plugs automatically switch off the appliances wasting energy and turn them back on before people return to the building. The technology not only saves energy and carbon emissions but makes buildings safer by detecting and preventing unsafe energy loads as well as reporting on occupancy and enabling behavioural change with occupants. The technology provider is seeking collaboration partners among businesses operating commercial buildings that utilize plug sockets — particularly those with multiple locations and high energy-consuming appliances. Potential partners include, but are not limited to, retail chains, F&B chains, the hospitality industry, healthcare facilities, education and training centres, and fitness and wellness chains.

Manual built environment inspection suffers from multiple issues such as shortage of manpower, human error and miscommunication. To overcome these issues, there is a need for an automated and centralized inspection system capable of detecting multiple defects of interest and presenting the inspection results in an easy to access format. The technology presented uses data acquired from LiDAR and Cameras mounted on an autonomous robot to inspect building interiors and external facades. The system utilizes an AI engine and can accurately detect defects such as cracks, holes, and other built imperfections stated in building quality guidelines such as CONQUAS. Defect reports can be autonomously generated after the acquired image and LiDAR data has been processed by the AI analytics engine.
