Compliant arms that find and seat a connector without human help.

Why It Works Here

The Joint Is Yhe
Whole Trick.

Cleaning glass needs contact, and contact is exactly what a rigid arm on a flying platform cannot survive. The Pliabot® muscle absorbs the push instead of transmitting it, so the squeegee can lie flat against the pane while the drone holds station a metre away.

  • 01

    40° bionic water squeegee

    A fan jet plus a compliant wiper: rinse and dry in a single pass.

  • 02

    Recoil cancelled in the muscle

    8 MPa of reaction force never reaches the flight controller.

  • 03

    Tethered water, no refills

    A ground pump feeds the head continuously through 100 m of hose.
