Lendlease puts cleaning and surveillance bots in Singapore malls

As well as mopping and vacuuming, the robots will act like mobile CCTV cameras, scanning to detect infractions of distancing rules and other security issues at the company’s 313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade and PLQ malls, the company said in a press release.

Jenny Khoo, head of asset operations in Singapore, said: “It is more important than before to stay ahead of the curve in ensuring that we continue to provide a safe and unparalleled shopping experience. The use of different forms of smart technologies – robots, AI-enhanced interfaces – can help us realise the vision with customers at the heart of our approach, adding value for them and Lendlease.”
