Winrobo - Automated Window Washing Robot

Abstract

This project will demonstrate the feasibility of creating a window-washing robot for use especially by the handicapped in cleaning residential double-hung sash windows. Under strict weight and size limits it will be required to be placed on the window and either autonomously or via remote control clean the outside of a window with no other human intervention. This particular robot will move over the window as if cleaning it, wipe off a series of 12 mm-diameter dry-erase dots, and carry 50 mL of water to simulate the cleaning fluid used in the final device.
