Against the record

LightStrike, from Xenex Disinfection Services, is at stage 5 of 5 on our ladder: regulator-cleared or mass market. Cleared where approval applies, or widely sold. The latest milestone on its record is from Jan 2026: Health Canada registered the LightStrike6 robot for sale to healthcare facilities in Canada.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.
