Waybot Robotics presented their project to the President of the Russian Federation at the “Strong Ideas for a New Time” forum.
On July 3, at the “Strong Ideas for a New Time” forum in Moscow, the founder and CEO of Waybot Automacon Robotics (part of the Avtomacon Group), Maksim Oleynikov, personally presented his business to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
Waybot Automacon Robotics, a manufacturer of autonomous professional cleaning robots, was named one of the top 10 Russian brands in the large-scale “Know Our Own” competition.
Alongside 11 other winners, Maksim Oleynikov took part in a special exhibition of Russian brands attended by the President of the Russian Federation. The event was organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), the Roscongress Foundation, and the state development corporation VEB.RF.
“During the brief presentation, I managed to tell the President about our innovative technical and design solutions, our team, and our development plans,” said Maksim Oleynikov. “As a joke, I asked: ‘Cleanbotics robots are already keeping many respected institutions clean — but not the Kremlin. Can we fix that?’ The President smiled and said the robots could very well be used there.”

Truly Russian-made robot
The core product of Waybot is the Cleanbotics lineup — a series of autonomous robots designed for professional cleaning of public and commercial spaces.
Most cleaning robots available on the Russian market are manufactured in China, with varying degrees of localization for distribution in Russia. In contrast, Cleanbotics robots are developed from scratch by Russian engineers, run on proprietary Waybot software, and are assembled in Rostov-on-Don. Some of the components are also produced domestically.
One of Waybot’s current goals is to localize the production of the robot's housing in Russia. While the country has a few 3D printers capable of producing such complex and large parts, the outsourcing cost for a single housing unit is nearly equivalent to the price of a complete robot.
To address this, Waybot has submitted a grant application to the Foundation for Assistance to Innovation. The goal is to acquire a high-tech industrial 3D printer for in-house production of robot housings. This would enable the company to produce one new robot every 24 hours.
Waybot Robotics is a Skolkovo resident. In 2020, the company received its first grant from the Foundation for Assistance to Innovation — which laid the foundation for transforming a student startup into a full-fledged business.

Technical innovations
The flagship 2025 model, Cleanbotics 400PRO, stands out from many competitors by featuring an independent vacuum cleaning module, allowing it to automatically switch from floor mopping to carpet vacuuming — without human intervention.
In terms of class and size, the Cleanbotics 400PRO is comparable to the widely used Pudu CC1, both in Russia and globally. However, the Russian robot charges three times faster and offers water tanks with twice the capacity.
