Skyline Robotics, the developer of Ozmo, a robotic-armed window cleaning robot, has closed a $9.8 million funding round. The funding, led by Standard Skyline LLC, will support the expansion of Ozmo into New York City and London, as well as the growth of the R&D team and the development of new features. Skyline Robotics aims to automate window cleaning globally and has raised a total of $19.4 million to date.
Ozmo combines artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision with advanced robotics and sensors to provide a faster and safer alternative to human window washers. With Ozmo, window cleaning can be performed up to three times faster than humans, without putting workers at risk. The company has recently announced a partnership with Principle Cleaning Services to bring Ozmo robots to the London skyline and has secured key patents from Japan and Singapore.
This new funding will help Skyline formalize its new construction line of business. The company plans to enhance its patented technology with new feature sets to maintain building façade health. With its expansion plans and ongoing R&D efforts, Skyline Robotics aims to revolutionize the window cleaning industry and automate all types of work at heights.
