Heathrow Airport, which operates London Heathrow Airport, has chosen nicknames for 24 autonomous cleaning robots operating in the airport through a public naming contest.
Thousands of submissions were put to a vote, and many of the selected names are playful twists on music and movies, full of distinctly British humor and a love of pop culture.
Among the winners were puns on bands, actors, pop stars, and musicals such as “Fleetwood Vac,” “Meryl Sweep,” “Scrubrina Carpenter,” “Dust Vader,” and “Mary Moppins.” Other names such as “Boeing 7 Floor 7,” “Air Floorce One,” and “Cleany McClean Face” reflect aviation fandom and British-style wordplay.
The 24 cobots are deployed across each terminal and can clean up to 4,800 square meters per day per unit. They feature advanced mapping technology and a water recycling system, and automatically recharge after up to three hours of operation. Introduced in partnership with facilities management company Mitie, they make up the largest fleet of autonomous cleaning robots in the United Kingdom.
