About Lucid Bots
Productive Robots, Endless Possibilities
Lucid Bots Inc. is an AI robotics company that is committed to uplifting humanity by building the world's most productive and responsible robots that perform dangerous and demanding tasks for the exterior cleaning and construction industries. Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, we engineer, manufacture, and support our products domestically, including the Sherpa spraying and cleaning drone and the Lavo Bot robot. In July 2024, Lucid Bots acquired Avianna, an AI company that enables robots to understand human language and operate autonomously. This follows Lucid Bots’ mission to create smart, productive, and responsible robots integrated into daily life by incorporating voice command and chat so users can communicate with their Sherpa Drone and Lavo AI products making projects easier.
Lucid Bots’ products are elevating safety and efficiency for a growing number of customers around the world.
Lucid Bots Inc. is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina at 6601 Northpark Blvd Suite A. Founded in 2018, the company has grown to approximately 70 employees and serves over 400 commercial cleaning drone operators across more than 40 U.S. states. Lucid Bots has received CES Innovation Awards for its robotics technology. The company is venture-backed through Series B funding.
Key products include the Sherpa commercial cleaning drone for exterior building maintenance up to 300 feet and the Lavo autonomous floor cleaning robot for outdoor commercial environments. Lucid Bots operators have collectively generated more than $75 million in revenue from drone cleaning services. The company’s executive team includes Andrew Ashur as CEO and Victorio Pellicano as President and Chief Platform Officer. Lucid Bots competes in the commercial robotics and building maintenance technology market.
Identifying a Need. Filling a Gap.
Lucid Bots' journey started with the aspiration of establishing a thriving exterior cleaning business, recognizing the challenging, hazardous, and outdated nature of the industry. In 2018, Lucid Bots emerged with the aim to adapt off-the-shelf drones for exterior soft-washing.
However, after investing considerable time and resources, it became evident that the necessary drone didn't exist in the market. This realization led our founders to embark on the mission of creating a tailor-made solution from scratch, encompassing the right product and essential support for success.
Today we help professional contractors, building owners/property managers, universities, medical centers and countless customers make exterior cleaning easier, more efficient and safer for the end user. We are creating endless possibilities, empowering people with more productive robots.
Lucid Bots Values
EXPEDITION BEHAVIOR
When the path is uncertain, we stay steady and move together. We trade credit for progress, protect the team, and share the load—because success is how we show up when the climb gets steep.
GROW WITH HUMILITY
Ego blocks learning, so we stay curious and coachable. We seek feedback, admit mistakes fast, and adapt quickly—because truth matters more than being right.
LIFT PEOPLE UP
Robots are the tool—humans are the point. We build for the people who rely on us and support each other with candor and care. We challenge directly and serve relentlessly.
BUILD THE EXTRAORDINARY
We don’t wait for the future—we create it. We take ownership, reject the ordinary, and run toward hard problems—because the extraordinary is built, not wished for.
