About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style='font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;'><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Using manpower to provide a street cleaning service is not a sustainable solution in the long run. Companies and local governments that are the target of Lumebot services are facing persistent labor shortages and staff turnover. These are jobs that people themselves do not want to do because of their type and on the other hand, these are low-skilled jobs, with average salaries always below the national average. In developed countries, finding people to do unskilled labor has become increasingly difficult and this is a global trend. </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style='font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;'><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Lumebot (Autonomous Robot OÜ) is an Estonian start-up company that aims to launch autonomous street cleaning robots to the market. Lumebot street cleaning robot can work regardless of the season, cleaning the streets from fallen leaves as well as snow. By July 2022, with the help of the Green ICT project, the first market ready zero-emission street cleaning robot with a charging station is developed. The project will change the daily logic of the street cleaning sector and bring more than 1,400 street cleaning robots to market by 2027. </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style='font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;'><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Lumebot goal is that by July 2022, a zero-emission street cleaning robot for a year-round market use is developed with the help of the Green ICT grant. Target groups of the future product are companies and local governments in general who are in the need of the street cleaning service. In addition, indirectly all the inhabitants of the Lumebot service areas benefit due to the cleaner air better living environment.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style='font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;'><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style='font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;'><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Project is implemented without a partner.</span></span></span></p>
