More About Cube High Altitude Cleaning UAV Highrise Glass
Cube is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed for cleaning the glass of high rise buildings. The omnidirectional aircraft has eight propellers and can rotate freely in the air. Onboard sensors determine the position and onboard computing determines the flight path. The square frame carries up to five separate cleaning modules, each with a water tank and surface nozzles. Small balls at the four corners help each module move across the glass. Solar panels recharge the modules during the operation. The design reduces the cost and the risk of manual cleaning at height.
Award Record
This recognition makes Guangpeng Yue a winner of 3 A' Design Awards. All of the awards belong to the 2020 - 2021 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Use Glass cleaner instead of High altitude practitioners to complete high risk operations. An omnidirectional helicopter with 8 propellers can rotate 360 degrees freely in the air. Each drone can pick up multiple modules back and forth, the part where the modules are removed can be charged by solar energy.
- Inspiration
- Using modern drone high altitude cleaning instead of traditional manual cleaning of high altitude glass can greatly reduce the cost of high altitude cleaning and reduce the risk of personnel falling from high altitude. Using the modular design concept, the drone can carry up to 5 cleaning modules to work together at a time.
- Research
- The design uses airborne sensors to determine location and airborne calculations to determine actions. An omnidirectional helicopter with 8 propellers can rotate 360 degrees in the air. The whole is a square frame, and there are six glass wiping modules that can be split into independent units at will. There are water tanks inside, the surface nozzles spray water. The four small balls on the four corners are convenient for moving when the glass is wiped.
- Challenge
- The form and integration of the function of the cabo module and the flight module.
- Realization and Technology
- Onboard sensors, onboard calculations, 8 axis lengthy, Solar charging.
- Operation and Interaction
- The Glass cleaner uses the airborne calculation standard path, sends the cleaning module to the glass of the high altitude building, starts the cleaning operation after freely rotating and positioning the next working platform. The back of the module provides continuous power to the solar panel. After completing the operation, the flight module retrieves the cleaning module.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was launched in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in June 2020, and ended in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in December 2020.
- Specifications
- Body length 540mm width 540mm height 540mm.
- Keywords
- Glass cleaning, automation, modularization, solar electromagnetic panel.
