Robots for cleaning floors, disinfecting lift panels among technologies being tested at Tampines market and food centre

SINGAPORE - Cleaning floors, monitoring pests and other laborious tasks in maintaining facilities such as food centres could soon be done by robots.

MPs from Tampines GRC - Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli,Senior Minister of State for Health Koh Poh Koon, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Baey Yam Keng and town council chairman Cheng Li Hui - were at the centre in Tampines Street 11 to see the robots in action on Saturday .

A total of five robots - two for floor-cleaning, one for false ceiling inspection, one for lift disinfection panel, and a mosquito density mapping robot - will be deployed at the market and its surrounding area. Following the pilot at the market, the technologies could be rolled out to other food centres in the constituency, as well as HDB blocks, the town council said.

The university is also in talks with manufacturers to identify how the products can be commercialised, he added. Utilising these robots does not mean that workers are cut. It provides instead upskilling opportunities for workers, he added, noting that it also addresses manpower shortages.
