KIRA Robots
A mobile IoT app that gives facility managers full control over their KIRA robot fleet, from map editing, scheduling to reporting.
From day one, the goal was to go from concept to launch — and my UX work shaped key features like the Map Editor, Scheduling, User Permissions, and Settings.
A real challenge was working within the hardware constraints of the device, finding solutions that delivered a solid app experience while reducing the gap between the app and the device's HMI.
From concept to launch
Designed to scale across a fleet of devices, the app shipped with five core features, now supporting two robot models.

Distinctive robots supported
Map Editor
KIRA CV50 was the first robot supported by the app. With no way to control the device remotely, Map Editor became the first major feature to rollout, allowing users to edit maps previously saved on the device's HMI.
SOLUTIONS
A quick in-app tour guides users through the Map Editor basics, making the experience self-explanatory from day one.
Users can freely add no-go zones and lines, with clear visual feedback to work within the rotation constraint.
Special cleaning zones can be fine-tuned by adjusting the number of cycles and suction mode directly from the app.
Cleanings
The Cleanings feature gives site managers a faster way to create and track cleaning tasks across multiple devices, replacing the need to manage each robot individually through its HMI.
SOLUTIONS
A two-step flow to create a task, adding details like device, route, date, time, colour and repetition.
A schedule view of all cleaning tasks across devices, filterable by date, device or map.
Users can access automated cleaning reports with detailed metrics, like cleaned area, water usage or distance.
