Skyline Robotics is disrupting the century-old practice of window washing with new technology that the startup hopes will redefine a risky industry.
A robotic arm with a brush attached to the end cleans the window following instructions from a LiDAR camera, which uses laser technology to map 3D environments.
"That person, other than regulation, doesn't actually have to be there for our sake," Blum said.
"We don't need a separate squeegee and a separate brush to get a perfectly clean window," he said.
The current cost of the Ozmo is approximately $500,000, which has a three-to-five-year payback for building owners, according to Skyline Robotics board member and Platinum CEO James Halpin.
