Construction tech start-up Okibo has demonstrated what it claims is the world’s first autonomous plastering and painting robot.
The robot is designed to autonomously traverse the potentially rough terrain of a typical construction site with “high precision, while maintaining human and equipment safety”.
Using 3D scanning, the robot maps its environment without any prior information, enabling progress monitoring, BIM comparison and “reliable understanding” of the plastering requirements.
Okibo notes that the robot is equipped with a suite of sensors and AI algorithms, and thus requires minimal human intervention. No manual programming is required.
