Meet Ozmo, the Window Cleaning Robot
The rise in skyscrapers worldwide is creating a high demand (需求)for window washers. Although a window cleaner earns as much as $35 an hour, the job is dangerous and accidents are not uncommon. Between 1983 and 2008, more than 70 window washers died while doing their jobs.
To take human employees out of danger, a company called Skyline Robotics has come up with a way to solve the problem. Ozmo, a window cleaning robot, will take over the dangerous job.
Ozmo was created by Avi Abadi and Yaron Schwarcz from Skyline Robotics.They were inspired (赋予灵感)when they looked up at some skyscrapers and noticed that some people were risking their lives to earn a living. Both thought that there must be a better way.
So Ozmo was born. The robot can be controlled by humans safely from the ground, as it uses machine learning and computer vision to clean windows at any height. While on duty, Ozmo will be sitting on the platforms hanging from the buildings. It cleans the dirt on windows using its arms and brushes. As it moves up and down the building,the robot can"skillfully"avoid ledges(窗台)and other obstacles(障碍物)that it will possibly meet.A 3D map of the building's surface is programmed into Ozmo's system to help the robot in such cases.
Before Skyline Robotics was founded in 2017, Avi and Yaron worked as window washers for a few weeks to get to know the job.
Aside from helping humans perform this job safely, Ozmo also helps Mother Earth. Instead of soap, it cleans the windows using only distilled water. (蒸馏水)
