A&K Robotics founded by three university researchers Kung, Matthew Anderson, and Jessica Yip is happily presenting a robot which can clean floors. This robot will be working for two buildings on UBC’s campus.
Owners of this robot want to make it part of their life for a long run. "Today marks the beginning of a new future," said Anson Kung, co-founder of A&K Robotics.
