Service & Consumer Robot Companies

Service robots work outside the factory: restaurant and hotel delivery robots, commercial floor scrubbers, hospital logistics robots, security patrols, robot vacuums and companion robots in homes and care facilities. It is the highest-volume category of robot by unit count, led by robot vacuum makers such as Roborock and Ecovacs.

In commercial settings, Chinese makers Pudu and Keenon lead hospitality delivery, Brain Corp and Avidbots supply autonomy for floor cleaning, and Diligent Robotics runs hospital supply robots. Buyers care most about uptime, how well the robot handles crowds and elevators, and what the service contract covers.

Profiles below list each company's platforms, headquarters and listing status, with links to robot reference pages and coverage where available.
