Revolutionizing Window Cleaning: The W1 Robotic by Xinyi Tan

Award-Winning Design Combines Vacuum Suction and Ultrasonic Atomization for Efficient Cleaning

In a world where technology continues to evolve and make life easier, Xinyi Tan's W1 Robotic window cleaner stands out. This innovative design, which won the Silver A' Home Appliances Design Award in 2023, revolutionizes window cleaning by combining vacuum suction and ultrasonic atomization. The W1 Robotic is a testament to the power of design in transforming everyday tasks into effortless experiences.

W1 Robotic is not just another window cleaner. Its unique design is inspired by the need for safe and efficient window cleaning. The device relies on the suction power provided by a vacuum cleaner to adhere to the glass. Equipped with an automatic water spray system, it features intelligent path planning, obstacle recognition, and active avoidance, allowing users to clean windows quickly and efficiently.

What sets the W1 Robotic apart is its intelligent path planning technology. The device can automatically detect edges, avoid obstacles, and is suitable for all flat glass surfaces. The 80ml water tank, equipped with bilateral ultrasonic atomizing water spray nozzles, ensures continuous and stable wet wiping, thereby enhancing the cleaning power. The design of the remote control handle, which conforms to ergonomics, allows users to actively control the machine's start, stop, and water spray functions, thereby innovating the window cleaning experience.

The W1 Robotic's design is as impressive as its functionality. Its streamlined shell, coupled with a slightly warped structure on both sides, gives it a lightweight appearance. The side's oblique shrinkage from top to bottom visually reduces the product's heaviness, making it look even lighter. The device connects to the vacuum cleaner host through a flexible rotating vacuum tube, adding to its convenience.

The design team, which included ZhaoJIN, Niu LIQun, TanxingYi, Guo Shao Xuan, and Zhao JingXia, faced the challenge of avoiding secondary pollution caused by glass dust during cleaning. Their solution was to equip the W1 with a vacuum cleaner with strong suction, which vacuums the dust on the window and sends it to the dust cup through the vacuum tube. This approach ensures efficient dust removal and prevents dust from being discharged into the air again, thereby avoiding secondary pollution.

W1 Robotic is a result of extensive research aimed at meeting users' needs for safe and fast window cleaning. The device is the world's first window cleaner robot used with a vacuum cleaner. It not only cleans the window but also vacuums the dust first to avoid secondary pollution during cleaning. This innovative approach to window cleaning has earned W1 Robotic the Silver A' Home Appliances Design Award, a testament to its remarkable design and functionality.
