About W1 Robotic Window Cleaner for Vacuum
W1 Robotic is a window cleaning robot that is used together with a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner supplies suction power, which holds the robot firmly on the glass and draws dust away through a flexible tube. Intelligent path planning allows W1 Robotic to detect edges, recognize obstacles and clean flat glass automatically. An 80 ml visible water tank feeds two ultrasonic atomizing nozzles for continuous and stable wet wiping. An ergonomic remote control handle lets the user start and stop the robot and control the water spray.
Award Record
Xinyi Tan is a winner of 2 A' Design Awards, including this recognition. The awards were granted in the 2022 - 2023 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- W1 adopt intelligent path planning technology, which can automatically detect edges, avoid obstacles and suitable for all flat glass. The 80ml water tank is equipped with bilateral ultrasonic atomizing water spray nozzle ensures continuous and stable wet wiping, improving the cleaning power. The shape of the remote control handle conforms to ergonomics, and the user actively controls the machine's start and stop, water spray, which comprehensively innovates the window cleaning experience.
- Inspiration
- W1 relies on the suction power provided by the vacuum cleaner to make the device tightly fixed on the glass safely during use. W1 is equipped with an automatic water spray system, which realizes automatic window cleaning through functions such as intelligent path planning, intelligent obstacle recognition and active avoidance, allowing users to quickly clean the glass by taking advantage of the fragmented time.
- Research
- Research goal: Rely on the vacuum cleaner to provide suction power, help the users to achieve the freedom of glass cleaning in fragmented time, and meet users' needs for safe and fast window cleaning. Research direction: safe, fast and intelligent window cleaning requirements. Market research: Online research + professional company research. Social impact: The world's first window cleaner robot used with a vacuum cleaner. while cleaning the window, the dust was vacuumed firstly to avoid secondary pollution during the cleaning.
- Challenge
- Main challenge: How to avoid secondary pollution caused by glass dust during cleaning Solution: W1 is equipped with a vacuum cleaner with strong suction, which can specifically vacuum the dust on the window, and enter the dust cup through the vacuum tube. Micro-vibration cyclone separation, the whole device is filtered, to avoid dust being discharged into the air again, causing secondary pollution, truly efficient dust removal, and coordinated to achieve accurate deep cleaning.
- Realization and Technology
- The overall is runway round shape, and the streamlined shell is matched with the slightly warped structure on both sides. The design of the oblique shrinkage of the side from top to bottom visually reduces the heaviness of the product, and the overall look is more lighter.
- Operation and Interaction
- 1. With a 80ml visual water tank and bilateral nozzles, W1 can automatically spray water with ultrasonic atomization to ensure continuous and stable wet mopping during the use. The multi-functional window cleaner robot integrates intelligent path planning, obstacle recognition and active avoidance,which greatly improves the cleaning effect. 2. Walking disc relies on the suction power provided by the vacuum cleaner, which greatly improves the stability and safety of operation.
- Specifications
- Host size: length * width * height =288x144x92mm Visual water tank capacity: 80ml Connection method: Flexible rotating vacuum tube is connected to the vacuum cleaner host
