Mohegan Sun puts robotic floor cleaners to work Mohegan Sun has begun using robotic floor cleaners at its Uncasville resort following a two-month pilot with Israeli robotics company MBody AI. The machines, made by Cenobot, vacuum carpets and scrub hard floors in public and back-of-house areas, including the resort's shopping complex, hotel lobbies and convention center. Dan Webster, Mohegan Sun's senior vice president of resort operations, said the robots handle repetitive and time-sen- sitive cleaning tasks, allowing housekeeping and environ- mental services staff to focus on other duties. No positions are affected, he said. The resort plans to add more robots later this year under a multiyear subscription agree- ment with MBody AI.
