Loki Robotics
ETH Zurich-founded startup building Loki, a cleaning robot for complex, hygiene-sensitive, high-contact spaces such as public restrooms and office kitchens. Unlike conventional floor-cleaning robots, Loki autonomously switches tools, applies cleaning agents precisely, and handles different surfaces and fixtures; machine learning plus teleoperation fallback lets it adapt to dynamic environments and cuts deployment time in new spaces. Founders Miks Ozols and Antonio Arbues met on ETH Zurich's Formula Student team. Raised a $1.6M pre-seed led by byFounders in May 2025.
