IT SAVES LIVES, IT’S THREE TIMES FASTER, AND IT NEVER MISSES A SPOT

Robots using the technology that powers driverless cars are cleaning the windows of some of the world’s tallest buildings.
They can work around the clock, they don’t leave streaks, and unlike their human counterparts they never miss a spot.
But more important than all of that… they save lives.
The “dirty, dull and dangerous” job of cleaning steel and glass skyscrapers has cost thousands of lives, according to Michael Brown, CEO & chairman of Skyline Robotics, based in Tel Aviv. “The problem, put simply, is that cleaning windows at height is extremely dangerous.”

Skyline proudly describes its machine, called Ozmo, as “the world’s first high-rise window-cleaning robot”.
