Robotic Window-Cleaners Get Wiped

Proof, I think, in this short video, that product innovation using robotics doesn't always hit the mark - or even wipe it off.

A robotic window cleaning device is put through its paces - and comes up short. What a waste of $400.

Why would you want one - other than to show your mates?

My local and highly entrepreneurial window cleaners (they clean the windows before I ask them to) can rest easy.
