DESCRIPTION
DRC300 is an industrial-generation autonomous cleaning robot created by Makita, representing the company’s vision for automated cleaning solutions within construction and industrial environments. First introduced in 2021, the robot has evolved through multiple iterations, with the current generation focusing on rugged durability, modular battery systems, and precision industrial sweeping. Unlike single-purpose industrial robots, DRC300 is designed to operate in human-centric environments such as factories and warehouses, performing heavy-duty floor sweeping tasks that traditionally require human labor. Its development reflects a broader industry shift toward general-purpose service robotics, where adaptability, learning capability, and safe human interaction are prioritized over rigid automation.
FEATURES
- Swappable battery packs
- Programmable cleaning routes
- Dust filtration system
