Summary:

 

Zerith H1 is a humanoid robot created by Zerith AI (also called Zero Square Robotics) in China. It was unveiled in June 2025 and is purpose‑built for the hospitality industry, tackling one of the most labor‑intensive service environments: hotel housekeeping. Unlike general‑purpose humanoids, H1 is optimized for cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming floors, restocking amenities, and handling waste disposal.  

 

Editorial:

 

Zerith H1 represents a new frontier in humanoid robotics—robots designed not for factories or research labs, but for hotels and guest services. Equipped with flexible universal wheels and a height‑adjustable body, it can glide through narrow corridors, bend to pick up laundry, and place toiletries neatly in bathroom cabinets.  

 

Its AI stack runs on ROS2, integrating 3D LiDAR, depth cameras, and articulated motors for precise navigation and manipulation. Powered by dual Intel Core i7 processors, the robot can process real‑time perception and control tasks, enabling autonomous cleaning and restocking without human intervention.  

 

Zerith AI positions H1 as a solution to staff shortages and rising operational costs in hospitality. By automating repetitive housekeeping tasks, hotels can redirect human staff toward guest‑facing roles, while maintaining cleanliness and efficiency.
