One major limitation in the recent trend to use commercial robotic systems for cleaning glass window facades is the robots’ inability to move from one window panel to another. Mantis is a new class of facade-cleaning robots that are not only capable of autonomously navigating flat vertical facades, but are also able to move over obstacles and kerbs.
