ABOUT TAILOS

Tailos is leading the way as a pioneer in revolutionizing commercial cleaning by leveraging the power of robotics and innovative automated solutions. This all starts with Rosie: an industrial housekeeping robot for commercial cleaning, which handles dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks. With rising market demand and Tailos's first-mover status, we have partnered with several of the largest hospitality & commercial cleaning companies. Beginning in Austin, we’ve expanded into markets such as London, Norway, and Canada. After launching successful deployments with multiple hospitality companies where dozens of our robots work alongside hotel staff, we are developing new features and enhancing our current software, which ranges from a customer-facing web application to state-of-the-art electronics. In our Austin office, you’ll find 3D printers, laser cutters, dogs, and an ever-growing army of robots.
