Skyline Robotics leverages industrial robotics arms to autonomously wash skyscraper home windows. | Credit: Skyline Robotics
Skyline Robotics, builders of OZMO, the world’s first high-rise window-cleaning robotic, in the present day introduced the corporate has acquired its first patent for its robotic window-cleaning system. The patent, awarded by Singapore, consists of the design of the system in addition to how the system operates. Skyline has filed its patent in 9 jurisdictions globally, with Singapore being the primary to independently consider and validate the corporate’s improvements.
Skyline Robotics is a 2023 RBR50 innovation award winner for this distinctive answer to skyscraper window cleansing automation.
“As this is our first patent awarded, it is a big milestone related to the uniqueness of our technology,” stated Michael Brown, CEO & chairman, Skyline Robotics. “It also means our method of implementation will now be protected, starting in Singapore, with the belief that more patent awards will be coming on a global scale. This is foundational proof that our team, our company provides innovation in a way that others never have.”
Skyline Robotics’ first patent comes as the corporate is within the midst of a world growth. The first Ozmo robots have been deployed in New York City in partnership with Platinum, Inc. the place Skyline has already carried out work at 10 Hudson Yards, 383 Madison, 825 third Avenue, and seven World Trade Center. Moving ahead, Skyline goals to convey Ozmo to buildings the world over.
Skyline’s flagship robotic, OZMO, combines synthetic intelligence, machine studying and pc imaginative and prescient with superior robotics and sensors to deal with a few of the most urgent business challenges together with labor shortages and employee security. With OZMO, window washing will be carried out as much as 3 times sooner than people, with out placing staff in danger. Additionally, as OZMO is operated by people, it isn’t changing human window washers, however is accelerating a future the place people and robots work collectively. The result’s a wiser, sooner, safer, and extra economical various to human window washers.
A abstract of the claimed invention
Patent quantity: WO2019155473A1
Summary: The current invention gives a computer-implemented methodology for controlling the cleansing of a constructing facade from an elevator platform. It includes receiving a multi-dimensional map and figuring out an ordered sequence of directions, which incorporates robotic arm directions and elevator platform directions. The directions are temporally intertwined to execute a cleansing sample protecting no less than a part of the facade. The directions are forwarded through no less than one first interface and the elevator platform directions through a second interface.
