What's the story

New York City is now home to the world's first robotic-armed window-cleaning robot, Ozmo.

The groundbreaking innovation was developed by Skyline Robotics in collaboration with The Durst Organization and Palladium Window Solutions.

The robot will be responsible for maintaining 1133 Avenue of the Americas, a 45-story tower in Bryant Park owned by The Durst Organization.

This marks a significant milestone as it's the first time an automated window cleaning system has been used on such a large scale.

Tech prowess

Advanced technology and operational efficiency

Ozmo is a state-of-the-art robot that utilizes machine learning, AI, computer vision, advanced robotics, and sensors to perform its tasks.

It operates with extreme precision and adaptability thanks to these technologies.

The robot uses LiDAR to meticulously scan building surfaces and memorize every curve and edge for detailed navigation.

Its force sensors ensure just the right amount of pressure is applied during cleaning, protecting delicate glass surfaces from potential damage.

Industry revolution

Impact on the window-cleaning industry

The introduction of Ozmo is expected to revolutionize the $40 billion window-cleaning industry.

It aims to address a global labor shortage and create jobs while enhancing worker safety through full automation.

The robot's advanced technology allows it to process data from its environment comprehensively, enabling real-time decision-making and stability maintenance even under challenging conditions like strong winds.

Safety assurance

Safety features and operational control

Ozmo's design includes safety features that allow it to be stopped instantly from a remote station, providing full control over its operations.

This feature enhances the reliability of the robot in performing its tasks.

"We're delivering the future of facade maintenance as Ozmo and human window cleaners work in unison to protect the health of buildings faster and safer than existing solutions," said Michael Brown, CEO of Skyline Robotics.

Modernization drive

Ozmo's role in modernizing facade maintenance

Despite over $1 billion being invested in new building projects annually, facade maintenance methods have remained largely unchanged.

The window cleaning industry is grappling with an aging workforce, with 75% of window cleaners in the US being over 40 years old and only 9% aged between 20 and 30.

As buildings taller than 200 meters increase by a staggering 176%, there is a growing demand for skilled labor.

This underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions like Ozmo.
