Primech Holdings Ltd. plans to unveil its Hytron bathroom cleaning robot in North America at CES 2026 next month in Las Vegas. Hytron is purpose-built to deliver fully autonomous restroom hygiene in commercial environments, said the company.

“CES 2026 represents the next phase of Hytron’s global expansion,” stated Ken Ho, chairman and CEO of Primech. “Following successful deployments and strong market reception across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau, along with growing demand from CMS Berlin and the Tokyo Building and Maintenance Expo, we are bringing a proven, enterprise-ready solution to North America.”

“Hytron was engineered specifically for where cleaning actually happens, combining a compact form factor, advanced AI, and full fixture coverage to give facility managers a level of restroom automation that simply has not existed until now,” he said.

Primech Holdings offers a range of targeted services and technologies for facilities maintenance, cleaning, and stewarding. The company said it is a leader in serving the private and public sectors and sustainability in Singapore and beyond.

Primech designs robot for real-world cleaning

Designed specifically for real-world restroom layouts, Hytron is 15.7 in. (39.8 cm) wide, according to Primech. The mobile manipulator features a “Universal Fit” design that enables it to navigate standard restroom environments, enter toilet stalls, and access confined spaces while delivering comprehensive, repeatable cleaning performance across all restroom fixtures.

Primech noted that Hytron doesn’t just focus on a single task while cleaning. Instead, the robot uses an AI-driven platform to clean all restroom touchpoints while also controlling water application to minimize slip risk.

The company said Hytron can clean and sanitize:

  • Toilet bowls, including the lid, and the inner and outer rims
  • Urinals
  • Sinks, mirrors, countertops, and surrounding high-contact surfaces
  • Floor areas immediately surrounding fixtures, with targeted mopping designed to support safety and hygiene

Hytron autonomously cleans in high-traffic environments

Hytron combines AI-driven perception, safety-aware navigation, and purpose-built cleaning hardware to operate reliably in high-traffic commercial environments, explained Primech. The platform integrates real-time decision making, fixture-level precision, and enterprise-grade autonomy within a compact form factor.

Primech said its system’s capabilities and specifications include:

  • Verified disinfection performance exceeding 99% bacterial reduction, independently tested and validated
  • NVIDIA Jetson Orin Super AI platform, delivering on-device edge-level computing with CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT acceleration
  • Real-time 2D AI navigation and perception, with dynamic obstacle detection, path optimization, and adaptive routing
  • A cleaning architecture engineered to precisely target fixtures and surrounding high-contact surfaces
  • Targeted floor mopping around fixtures, intentionally limited to reduce slip risk while maintaining hygiene where it matters most
  • Chemical-free cleaning system using electrolyzed water and e-water jet technology, reducing operating costs and environmental impact
  • Fully autonomous operation, including self-charging, automatic water management, door navigation, and unattended deployment

“With strong demand from international markets and confirmed fleet deployments, Hytron is ready for global scale,” said Charles Ng, chief operating officer of Primech AI. “Mass production begins in the first quarter of 2026, backed by publicly traded industrial partners and established real-estate services leaders.”

Primech will show Hytron at CES 2026 in Booth 8935 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company offers Hytron through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model, which it said enables enterprise customers to deploy autonomous restroom cleaning with predictable monthly costs and comprehensive support.

    I think it is an excellent idea! I am not intimidated by it at all. I am going to bring it up to the supermarket and department store managers near where I live.
