…do not damage façades, said Blum. A lidar from Ouster maps façades, even when they are transparent or reflective. “It's able to filter out noise from the sun's position and localize where each window exists,” he explained. “It then tells the robot to go clean betweeen the lines.” Beneath the robot arm is compute and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) so that it can react in real time to environmental conditions such as gusts of wind. The path planning recalculates 250 times per second for basket stabilization, Blum said. Skyline Robotics' OZMO uses a KUKA robot arm. Source: KUKA Funding…
