About Sherpa Drone
Sherpa Drone carries a cleaning nozzle and hose system for washing façades, windows, roofs and exterior structures. The aircraft receives water or cleaning solution from ground equipment and directs the spray while the operator controls position, pressure and coverage from a safe working location.
Lucid Bots supplies the drone with pumps, hoses, controls, training and service support for commercial cleaning contractors. The system supports soft washing, pressure washing and chemical application across buildings and industrial assets. Operational data and fleet software help contractors track jobs and equipment use.
