We Will Clean Your Windows
if you don't let that robots do it
Hey everyone! Welcome back to TodaysWorld. It’s midweek, and we’re here to give you a boost to power through the rest of your week. Let’s check out today’s stories…
But, before we begin, here’s a small task for your Wednesday:
📌 Learn something new for 10 minutes
Expanding your knowledge, even in small doses, can give you a sense of accomplishment, which helps build confidence over time. Dedicating just 10 minutes to learning improves your ability to concentrate and trains your brain to engage in deep focus for longer periods.
By investing that small amount of time each day, you can consistently grow your skills and knowledge, leading to long-term benefits.
Now, onto the news…
Avoid The Gen Z Bait
Apple’s new iPhone 16 lineup just dropped a feature that’s set to make a splash, especially among Gen Z. The standout addition is a fresh camera control button that’s making waves for its simplicity and practicality.
So, what’s the big deal? This new button, conveniently located on the right side of the phone under the power button, lets you open the camera app with a single touch. But it’s not just about launching the camera; it’s packed with cool features. You can now adjust photo tones and snap pics without even touching the screen.
Here’s where it gets really interesting: The button allows you to control the zoom level by swiping along it. This is a game-changer for those 0.5x selfies that Gen Z loves. For the uninitiated, 0.5x selfies are all about capturing a wide-angle shot that includes more of your surroundings or a bigger group. Before this feature, it involved fiddling with the zoom and then snapping the pic with the volume button. Now, it’s as easy as swiping.
However, the excitement for this feature might differ by region. For instance, in growth markets like India, the benefits might not outweigh the higher price. So, think twice before giving in to the bait. (More)
Drink Like Taylor Swift!
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a blast at the US Open and boy, did they know how to live it up! They rolled into their VIP box with some serious swagger, ordering four bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne—two Rosé Impérial and two Moët Impérial. As if that wasn’t enough, they also indulged in the US Open’s signature Honey Deuce cocktail, a refreshing mix of Grey Goose vodka, fresh lemonade, honeydew melon balls, and premium raspberry liqueur.
The fun didn’t stop there. Swift and Kelce were joined by Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. Brittany, who’s expecting their third child, kept things alcohol-free, but the rest of the crew enjoyed a feast of fish tacos, lobster rolls, filet mignon sandwiches, ribs, and fries. To top it all off, they had some Van Leeuwen ice cream while watching Jannik Sinner take on Taylor Fritz in the men’s singles final.
After the game, the fun continued. The group headed to Meduza Mediterrania in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District for a double date. They were whisked away to a private dining room, where they enjoyed a three-hour dinner and mingled with other industry folks, including Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon.
A New Way to Clean Your Windows
Skyline Robotics is about to shake up the window-cleaning world with its groundbreaking invention, Ozmo. Installed in a 45-story office building in Manhattan, Ozmo is not just any cleaning tool—it’s the world’s first automated window-cleaning system.
So, what makes Ozmo so special? Well, it combines cutting-edge robotics, AI, and sensors to clean windows at lightning speed—three times faster than the human window washers we're used to seeing. This is a game-changer for an industry that’s worth $40 billion.
One of the coolest features of Ozmo is its “sense of touch.” It uses force sensors to adjust the cleaning pressure based on the glass’s fragility, making sure delicate surfaces are treated with care. Plus, while the hardware is the same, the software adapts to different window designs and building features.
Ozmo operates on a “Robot-as-a-Service” model, where buildings pay based on factors like size and cleaning frequency. This setup offers flexibility and detailed data on each cleaning session.
Now, you might be wondering what this means for the people who currently clean windows. It’s true that this shift will have a big impact. In the U.S., window cleaning is one of the most dangerous jobs, with 88 documented accidents over 15 years, including 62 fatalities. In New York City alone, about one in 200 window cleaners die on the job each year. So, while the transition might be tough for those in the field, it’s a much-needed change to improve safety.
Ozmo is designed to work like a human window washer hanging off the edge of a building. It’s equipped with two robotic arms from Kuka and is currently operated by a person who manages it from the rooftop. This human oversight is still necessary due to regulations. The robots use a Lidar system to map their surroundings in 3D, adjusting in real time for perfect cleaning results.
BTW, Skyline Robotics isn’t stopping at Manhattan. With patents in Japan and Singapore, they’re eyeing global expansion, with cities like London next on their list.
