WeRide has introduced the WeRide Robosweeper S1, a pioneering innovation in multi-scenario cleaning applications. This is the world’s first Level 4 self-driving cleaning equipment that can cover any scenario on open roads. Equipped with WeRide’s robust autonomous driving software and hardware systems, it offers 360-degree sensing capability and industry-leading planning and control capabilities.
The Robosweeper S1 can flexibly negotiate a variety of static and dynamic obstacles while maintaining proximity to road edges and efficiently clearing visible debris from different road surfaces. It can also perform operations such as automatic garbage dumping and parking, while complementing traditional cleaning methods more effectively, providing a thorough cleanup without blind spots.

This innovative cleaning vehicle can clean 1 million square feet of roadway per charge and is designed for use in parks, traffic lanes, riverbanks and sidewalks. WeRide says it can work with street crews or clean quietly on its own, day or night. WeRide was founded in 2017 by the former chief scientist of Baidu’s autonomous driving lab and has operations centers in Silicon Valley, the UAE, Singapore and China. The company has previously launched the L4 autonomous driving robotaxis, a robobus and a robovan. The newest version of this innovative cleaning vehicle, the Robosweeper S1, is built on an autonomous driving platform with 360-degree sensors and cameras. Measuring 2,570 mm in length, it has a variety of features and can clean an area of 120,000 m². The launch in Guangzhou marks the beginning of the commercial deployment of the autonomous sanitation technology and WeRide reports that a number of contracts for the S1 have already been secured.
