The present disclosure provides a spraying system and a using method thereof. The spraying system includes a lifting apparatus and a spraying apparatus. The spraying apparatus connects to the lifting apparatus and includes a stage, a multi-axis transfer mechanism, a spraying component, a driving component, a surface profile detector, and a controlling component. The multi-axis transfer mechanism is disposed on the stage. The spraying component is disposed on the multi-axis transfer mechanism and the stage. The driving component is disposed on the stage and connects to the lifting apparatus. The surface profile detector is disposed on the stage and scans an area to be sprayed to obtain scanning data. The controlling component is disposed on the stage and controls the lifting apparatus, the spraying component, and the driving component according to the scanning data and pre-stored initial data.

A cleaning method includes controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to fly to a region of a wall body according to a path to be cleaned, and, in response to detecting a cleaning prohibition identifier associated with the region, recognizing the region as a cleaning prohibition region and controlling the UAV to fly over the cleaning prohibition region without cleaning the cleaning prohibition region.

A vertical surface cleaning device comprising a main body, a cleaning arm, a cleaning head, and leg mechanisms with grippers. The cleaning head applies a cleaning fluid on a surface to carry out a cleaning operation. A waste collector is provided to collect a waste material arising from the cleaning operation. The grippers may remain in a grip or in a release state. The segments of the leg mechanisms are articulatable to configure a first group of the leg mechanisms to stably hold the main body at a first place with the grippers remaining in the grip state. A second group of the leg mechanisms move in a desired direction with their grippers in release state while the first group stably holds the main body. The first group of the leg mechanisms then moves in the same direction while the second group holds the main body at a second place.

A cleaning method includes controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to fly to a region of a wall body according to a path to be cleaned, determining a distance between the UAV and a wall surface of the region of the wall body based on a cleaning mode, and controlling the UAV to clean the wall surface via the cleaning mode and at the determined distance away from the wall surface.

An aerial operations system for performing various tasks such as painting is provided. The modular aerial operations system includes an aerial vehicle capable of vertically taking off and landing, hovering and precisely maneuvering near walls and other structures. The aerial vehicle may be a rotorcraft such as a multicopter. In an aspect, as aerial vehicle paints one or more designated surfaces using detachable arms and equipment. The system may paint the designated surface in one of several available techniques using paint provided in a container such as an attached reservoir, a base station, a paint can, or the like. The aerial operations system provided may also be configured to perform a variety of other tasks.

Devices, systems and methods of performing a surface operation on a building are provided. The device comprises a plurality of cables removably coupled to a surface of a building, tower or bridge, each of the plurality of cables removably coupled at a different position on the surface; and a body coupled to the plurality of cables at an intersection of the plurality of cables. A length of each cable between the respective position on the surface and the body is automatically adjustable and a tension in each cable is maintained to move the body on the surface. The devices, systems, and methods can be used on buildings, tower, or bridges with complex geometries or irregular surfaces to for example, automatically clean the surface of the building.

An automated building washing device generally includes one or more rotational brushes having a vertical rotational axis coupled to a window washing swing stage. The brushes are horizontally movable from end-to-end along the longitudinal direction of a window washing swing stage while rotating about their vertical axis so that a relatively large portion of building surface can be quickly cleaned.
