A Robot Built to Clean Skyscrapers

Window cleaning is dangerous, expensive, and hard to scale. Verobotics sees it as only the beginning.

In this Startup Spotlight, Ido Genosar explains how Verobotics is building a robotic platform for building exteriors. The company is starting with facade cleaning, but its larger vision is to create an operating system for building exteriors by collecting visual data, mapping facade conditions, and helping building owners understand the health of their properties.

Ido shares why traditional skyscraper window-cleaning systems were too heavy and too dependent on rooftop cranes, why Verobotics built a lightweight robot instead, and how the company has already worked on more than 100 buildings while collecting real-world data in the field.

The bigger idea: cleaning is the wedge. The long-term opportunity is giving building owners visibility into cracks, glass damage, silicone issues, and other exterior problems before they become expensive repairs.
