Skyline Robotics, Durst Organization, and Palladium Window Solutions launched Ozmo, a robotic-armed window-cleaning robot, at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, a 45-story NYC skyscraper.
From Superinnovators 02/09/24

According to Skyline Robotics, Ozmo is the world’s first automated window cleaning system to be permanently deployed on a skyscraper.
The system, approved by the New York State Department of Labor, aims to address the global shortage of manual window cleaners.
The startup say Ozmo operates three times faster than traditional methods, ensuring consistent, high-quality cleaning while keeping workers out of potentially hazardous environments.
Despite being autonomous, Ozmo is still operated by humans using a computer on the rooftop, ensuring safety and efficiency during operations.

Palladium Window Solutions, experts in high-rise window cleaning, partnered with Skyline Robotics to integrate this groundbreaking technology in New York City.
Skyline Robotics plans to expand Ozmo’s deployment globally, with deployments slated in London.
It seems likely that future rollout will cover the Durst Organization’s other New York skyscrapers.
In addition to 1133 Avenue of the Americas, their portfolio includes One Bryant Park, One Five One West 42nd Street, and One World Trade Center.
Skyline Robotics say Ozmo’s introduction marks a significant advancement in the $40 billion global window-cleaning industry, setting a new standard for facade maintenance worldwide.
