System Design

The Window Monkey will clean a window by swinging from one suction cup to another. During the swing the robot will drag a cleaning surface to wipe the window free of debris. Because the robot will swing around a point, the cleaning motion will resemble a windshield wiper. After completing the necessary turn, the Window Monkey will attach to its other suction cup and repeat the process. This sweeping motion will be done in a grid pattern until the entire surface is clean. When the robot needs to cross a divider, the robot will lift itself over the divider and attach on the other side and then swing its other suction cup over as well. The other pane can then be washed in the same fashion as the first.
