Cleanix Robotics Co., Ltd.
Shenzhen-based consumer floor-cleaning robot firm founded 2022; markets under the xLean brand with flagship TR1 dual-form transformable floor washing robot.
Cleanix Robotics Co., Ltd. is a Shenzhen, China-based robotics startup operating under the brand name xLean Robotics. The company was founded in 2022 and traces its origins to the T-Stone Robotics Institute at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), one of China's leading academic robotics programs. The founding team includes robotics PhDs, IEEE fellows, winners of international robotics competitions, and senior engineers from companies including DJI, Roborock, and XREAL, with collective experience shipping millions of consumer devices.
The company is headquartered at 8/F, Building F3, TCL Science Park International E City, Nanshan, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
xLean's core focus is consumer floor-cleaning robots. Its flagship product, the xLean TR1, is a dual-form transformable floor washing robot that operates both in autonomous robot mode for whole-home floor cleaning and in handheld mode for targeted, on-the-spot cleaning. The TR1 incorporates the company's proprietary VortexMatrix Separation Technology, developed through nearly 40 design iterations and three years of fluid simulations and prototyping. It uses SLAM navigation and AI-based obstacle detection to navigate floors autonomously.
The TR1 debuted at IFA 2025 in Berlin, where the company exhibited as Cleanix Robotics Co., Ltd. It subsequently appeared at CES 2026, where it was highlighted for its human-intent cleaning approach — identifying cleaning needs contextually rather than following a fixed route pattern. A Kickstarter campaign was also launched to support consumer market entry.
The product line targets the premium consumer segment and positions against established brands such as Roborock and iRobot by emphasizing the dual-form factor and self-learning cleaning behavior. The company has pursued direct-to-consumer sales and partnerships with major Chinese e-commerce platforms including JD.com.
Social media presence includes X (@xlean_robotics) and Instagram (@xlean_robotics).
