About
About Skyline Robotics
Skyline Robotics develops Ozmo, an automated system for cleaning high-rise building façades. The robot attaches to existing building-maintenance units, uses lidar to establish position and orientation and controls brushes with force sensing so it can maintain contact without damaging glass.
Machine-learning software continually adjusts stability and cleaning paths as wind and façade conditions change, while an operator can supervise and stop the system remotely. Skyline works with building owners and maintenance contractors on deployment and service. Ozmo entered commercial operation in New York at 1133 Avenue of the Americas through Palladium Window Solutions and The Durst Organization.
