Robaru brings robotic outdoor cleaning to Dubai's villa communities. A self-driving robot sweeps the outside of your home — driveway, forecourt, courtyard and paved perimeter — then returns to its neighbourhood station. It never enters your house, and it records nothing. HOW IT WORKS • We map first. Your first visit is a mapping run (about 15 minutes, no sweep). The robot measures your outdoor areas to the square metre and delivers a site plan in the app. Your home is drawn and clearly marked "not entered." • You approve the plan. See your driveway, forecourt and courtyard drawn to scale. Include or exclude any area. • Sweeps run on your schedule — fortnightly, weekly or twice weekly. • One tap at the gate. Five minutes before the robot arrives you get a single notification — open the gate with one tap. If you're not around, the robot moves on and reschedules. It never waits. • A report every visit. Before-and-after photos, square-metres swept, and anything skipped and why. PRIVACY IS BUILT IN, NOT BOLTED ON The robot sweeps outside only. On your property it ingests no camera frames, stores no imagery, and shares no route history with anyone. Nothing enters the house, and nothing is recorded. MADE FOR DUBAI VILLAS Fine desert sand, sandstorms and large paved plots make outdoor upkeep relentless. Robaru's robots are built for hard paving — interlock, tile and stone — and run in the cooler hours. The top plan even includes a post-sandstorm callout within 24 hours. PLANS (AED, billed monthly, cancel or pause anytime) • Fortnightly — driveway and forecourt • Weekly — adds courtyard, paved perimeter and a priority slot • Twice weekly — adds a 24-hour post-sandstorm callout Now piloting across Dubai. Enter your address to check if your community is covered. Nothing enters the house.
