UWaterloo Engineering Industry Research Partnership: Avidbots and Waterloo RoboHub

Avidbots, a manufacturer of autonomous floor-cleaning robots for commercial use, was founded in 2014 by Pablo Molina (BASc ’11, mechatronics engineering) and Faizan Sheikh (BASc ’11, mechatronics engineering). Their idea to outsource the dirty work to robots has proved enormously successful and their research partnership with the University of Waterloo’s RoboHub has led to innovation and global success.
