Window cleaning robot

This invention describes a window-cleaning robot designed to stick to a window using a vacuum system. It uses one set of seals to maintain suction while it moves, and separate seals to create a strong vacuum hold when it needs to pause. Air pressure sensors monitor the vacuum levels, allowing the robot to activate pumps as needed to keep it securely attached to the glass.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in embedded system processing power and sensor integration have made robust, safety-critical control of multi-zone vacuum attachment systems more feasible. This could simplify the complex software logic needed for reliable vertical surface operation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedVacuum pumps, pressure sensors, custom seals, software logic.
