iKitBot pioneers robotic cleaning solutions
iKitBot has emerged as a trusted solution for commercial and public environments. It was developed to meet the growing demand for efficient, contactless, and consistent cleaning solutions, especially in high-traffic environments like large commercial spaces, government buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, corporate offices, smart cities, airports, entertainment complexes and educational institutions.
Built with a modular mechanical design, iKitBot can quickly replace cleaning tools for simplified daily maintenance. It comes with five versatile cleaning modes: Sweep, Wash, Scrub, Vacuum, and Mop, making it adaptable for a wide range of surfaces and cleaning needs. Its advanced cleaning system also supports multiple cleaning combinations, such as 'Sweep + Mop', 'Sweep + Vacuum + Mop', and 'Scrub + Vacuum', to ensure optimal results across any surface type.
iKitBot features an AI system that allows real-time path planning, obstacle avoidance, real-time monitoring and adaptive cleaning. All of this is made possible with its 13 high-precision onboard sensors that include LiDAR, 3D cameras, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. With these technologies, it is able to work autonomously and without human intervention. It even features seamless smart building integration, allowing it to interact with elevators and access control systems to extend its operations across multi-floor environments.
It also operates with a remarkably low noise level as low as 50dB@1m even at full capacity, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. iKitBot's quiet operation is made possible with Japanese ultra-silent materials and a proprietary multi-stage noise reduction design that doesn't compromise its cleaning power.
iKitBot maintains its eco-friendly efficiency by using dispensing systems that precisely disperse chemical usage and utilise smart scheduling and power management features to reduce power consumption. The central control system supports multi-unit scheduling and remote monitoring via a mobile app, making it ideal for large-scale deployment in commercial environments. Additionally, it offers live monitoring of cleaning efficiency thanks to AI and IoT integration.
'iKitBot is a great example of how robotics and AI can bring real, everyday value to organisations', said Anwar Almahrasi, Business Development Director, PROVEN Robotics. 'Our clients who have been using iKitBot are now seeing the real improvements in efficiency and operational cost savings, helping make everyday processes more effective and environmentally responsible'.
The launch of iKitBot saw measurable improvements in cleaning efficiency and labour optimisation after it was deployed in major commercial centres and hospitals across the GCC. As such, ongoing development is already taking place to focus on improving its functions and adding more features. Some of which include integration with smart building systems, voice assistant compatibility, and enhanced reporting dashboards.
iKitBot is now available across Saudi Arabia through PROVEN Robotics, offering full lifecycle support, including deployment, training, preventive maintenance, and SLA-backed technical services.

Nearly 88% global firms now have dedicated AI budgets, says report
Nearly 88 per cent of global enterprises now have dedicated budgets for Artificial Intelligence (AI), with nearly two-thirds of them spending over 15 per cent of their overall tech budgets on AI projects, a new report said on Monday. This major investment push marks a clear shift from early experimentation with Generative AI to building intelligent, goal-oriented systems known as AI agents, according to data compiled by Nasscom. Titled 'Enterprise Experiments with AI Agents - 2025 Global Trends,' the report provides a comprehensive look at how companies across the globe are preparing for the next phase of AI adoption. Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Nasscom, said that enterprises are at a crucial turning point. 'AI agents represent the next evolution of enterprise AI - one that requires philosophical shifts in how we view work, intelligence, and autonomy,' she said. However, she also emphasised that scaling AI systems responsibly would require strong trust, data readiness, and continuous human oversight. Based on responses from over 100 companies across 8-9 global regions and more than 10 industries, the study shows how enterprises are moving beyond passive data analysis to more active AI systems that can perform tasks and make decisions with human oversight. The report shows that businesses are strengthening their AI foundation through investments in GenAI tools, data infrastructure, and flexible processes. Many companies have already formed specialised AI teams and are working with advanced platforms, upgrading their tech setups to support the deployment of AI agents. However, despite high awareness of Generative AI, only half of the surveyed companies are fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) or foundation models for their own needs. One of the biggest highlights of the report is the growing interest in Agentic AI - systems designed to act independently while still being monitored by humans. About 62 per cent of companies are experimenting with such AI agents, mainly for internal tasks such as IT operations, HR, and finance. External uses, like customer service, are still limited, with only 31 per cent of enterprises using Agentic AI in those areas. However, looking ahead, 88 per cent of companies plan to set aside budgets specifically for Agentic AI systems in 2025. The report also reveals that most companies are being cautious. Around 77 per cent are designing Agentic AI systems with a 'human-in-the-loop' model to ensure oversight and adaptability. Only 46 per cent are testing fully autonomous agents. Manufacturing companies appear to be ahead in adoption, using AI for robotics, quality control, and other operational areas. When it comes to benefits, companies believe AI agents can help in making faster decisions and responding better to market changes, the report said. AI TOOL TO DETECT CANCER: Meanwhile, in a significant achievement for identifying neuro-degenerative diseases early, a team of US researchers has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps clinicians detect brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia using a single and widely available scan. The tool, StateViewer, not only helped in early detection but also provided accurate diagnosis - it identified the dementia type in 88 per cent of cases, including Alzheimer's disease. It also enabled clinicians to interpret brain scans nearly twice as fast and with up to three times greater accuracy than standard workflows, according to the research, published online in the journal Neurology. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic trained and tested the AI on more than 3,600 scans, including images from patients with dementia and people without cognitive impairment. Currently, diagnosing dementia requires cognitive tests, blood draws, imaging, and clinical interviews, and yet, distinguishing conditions such as Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia remains a challenge. 'Every patient who walks into my clinic carries a unique story shaped by the brain's complexity,' said David Jones, a Mayo Clinic neurologist. 'StateViewer reflects that commitment -- a step toward earlier understanding, more precise treatment, and, one day, changing the course of these diseases,' added Jones, director of the Mayo Clinic Neurology Artificial Intelligence Programme. The tool analyses a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan, which shows how the brain uses glucose for energy. It then compares the scan to a large database of scans from people with confirmed dementia diagnoses and identifies patterns that match specific types, or combinations, of dementia. While Alzheimer's affects memory and processing regions, Lewy body dementia involves areas tied to attention and movement. Frontotemporal dementia alters regions responsible for language and behaviour. Indo-Asian News Service

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) announced the winners of the 2025 FAO Awards, recognizing organizations from Colombia, Egypt, and the Philippines, whose work has led to outstanding progress in building more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. On Monday, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu presented the Champion Award and Partnership Award during the 44th FAO Ministerial Conference held in Rome. 'These Awards are more than an acknowledgment of achievements - they represent FAO's core values and aspirations. The ceremony is a celebration of possibility and hope of what happens when commitment and innovation meet the urgent call to transform global agrifood systems,' he said. The FAO Champion Award, the Organization's highest corporate award, which carries a prize of USD 50,000 and recognizes significant and outstanding contributions towards advancing FAO's overall goals, was conferred to la Confederación Mesa Nacional de Pesca Artesanal de Colombia (COMENALPAC), for its tangible results across organizational, social, economic and environmental dimensions, including championing social protection measures for fishers and played a key role in drafting laws against illegal fishing, thereby improving the welfare and rights of fishing communities. Since 2017, COMENALPAC has represented over 800 groups of marine and freshwater fishers across Colombia. Its work has contributed to the design and implementation of key legislation, including Law 2268 of 2022, which guarantees social benefits for commercial and subsistence fishers. Through an FAO–COMENALPAC partnership, the organization has strengthened fisher communities in Tumaco by eliminating intermediaries, increasing incomes, and promoting inclusive market opportunities. It has also led to the restoration of 83 wetlands, contributing to aquatic biodiversity and more sustainable food systems. The organization was further praised for helping secure the legal recognition of more than 120,000 fishers and for its role in incorporating the concept of 'Aquatic Agrifood Ecosystems' into Colombia's National Development Plan. In addition, within the same category, a Special Mention was also awarded to Youth Uprising, a Philippine-based non-profit organization recognized for its intense engagement of young people in transforming agrifood systems. The FAO Partnership Award — valued at USD 10,000 and recognizing outstanding cooperation with FAO in advancing the Organization's work by its Members — was presented to The Egyptian Food Bank (EFB), the first Egypt NGO focused on addressing food insecurity, providing support to over 24 million people through comprehensive food assistance, nutrition, and empowerment programs. Among the EFB's most notable initiatives are the Community Nutrition Programme, the Ramadan Food Loss Initiative, and the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA). EFB's programs have benefited over 150,000 families and more than 60,000 schoolchildren. Its work also includes capacity-building for small-scale producers and support to 1,200 farmers — particularly women — promoting sustainable agricultural practices and economic inclusion. The FAO Director-General bestowed the awards to representatives of the organizations who attended the ceremony in person. Adriana Rocío Cadena Cancino, Director of la Confederación Mesa Nacional de Pesca Artesanal de Colombia (COMENALPAC), received the Champion Award on behalf of the organization. Mohsen Sarhan Ali Gamal Ali, Chief Executive Officer of The Egyptian Food Bank (EFB), accepted the Partnership Award on behalf of his organization. 'These awardees remind us that transformation is already happening and must accelerate. Let us continue working hand in hand for the transformation of global agrifood systems to be more efficient, more inclusive, more resilient and more sustainable,' Qu added in his closing remarks, with a reference to the FAO Four Betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind.
