The Winbot 730 from Ecovacs finally arrived and is available for immediate shipment. Want to know more about this robot? We opened up a brand new robot just for you.
The Winbot 730 is part of a new line of window cleaners that does not need two halves that hold together with permanent magnets. Say goodbye to needing a friend on the other side of the window to help you. This window cleaner is very easy to use and is the only robot window cleaner that can be used on windows of any thickness.
Lets take a look at what’s inside the box:

You’ll also find safety accessories; the safety pod and the safety rope. When your robot is cleaning windows above ground level you must use these accessories to tie your robot to the window. This way if a fault happens your robot will be safely hanging on the rope. This safety feature is needed since the Winbot does not function with safety magnets that hold two units together. It uses two powerful suction rings to hold itself against the surface of the window.

The winbot is small and lightweight and is easy to carry around from window to window with it’s handle.

On the other side of the robot you have the two areas for the cleaning and drying pads and very soft rubber tracks that will not scratch your windows. In the center you have the robots cupule. It has two suction rings for safety protection. If the outer ring senses any loss of suction, a signal will be sent to winbots controller for it to select a new cleaning path.

ASIMO working at museum
In the past, ASIMO’s public performances have heavily monitored by humans and orchestrated by hidden operators. With the hope of rendering the robot more autonomous, Honda has partnered with Japan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation to create an interactive presentation with their little humanoid robot.
There were some technical hiccups, and ASIMO had a hard time answering questions and interacting with the crowd. This was a bit disappointing to many since Honda’s previously choreographed presentations had created high expectations for their humanoids (arguably the most advanced in existence at the moment). However, ASIMO is expected to improve with time as his software is refined and further adapted to this new challenge.
