Skyline Robotics Instantiates Heinlein's 'Window Willie' Skyscraper Robot

Just put this handy Skyline Robotics robot to work on your skyscraper and then see it shine!

Science fiction fans may recall that Robert Heinlein thought about this problem in his 1956 novel Door Into Summer and proposed - Window Willie!

I got to thinking about dirty windows and that ring around the bathtub that is so hard to scrub, as you have to bend double to get at it. It turned Out that an electrostatic device could make dirt go spung! off any polished silica surface, window glass, bathtubs, toilet bowls-anything of that sort. That was Window Willie and it's a wonder that somebody hadn't thought of him sooner. I held him back until I had him down to a price that people could not refuse. Do you know what window washing used to cost by the hour?
