Skyline Robotics, developers of robotic-armed window cleaning robot Ozmo, announced the closing of a $9.8M funding round led by Standard Skyline LLC with additional contributions from Durst Ventures, the venture capital investment arm of the Durst Organization, and HNW individuals. To date, Skyline Robotics has raised $19.4M.
This latest round will support Ozmo’s expansion into NYC and London, grow the R&D team to bolster Ozmo’s service offerings, and formalize Skyline’s new construction line of business.
Skyline’s funding announcement comes in the midst of a global expansion. The company recently announced a partnership with Principle Cleaning Services to bring Ozmo window-cleaning robots to the London skyline. Skyline has also secured key patents from Japan and Singapore as it aims to bring Ozmo to cities and skyscrapers across the world.
Ozmo combines artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision with advanced robotics and sensors. Skyline claims that with Ozmo, window cleaning can be performed up to three times faster than humans, without putting workers at risk. The result should be a smarter, faster, safer, and more economical alternative to human window washers.
