Okibo launches EG7+, the autonomous painting robot
Okibo, the leader in construction robotics innovation bringing value-add safety and efficiency to skilled teams, announced the national launch of the EG7+ robot. The company’s fully autonomous, AI-guided painting and drywall finishing robot debuted last month at Federal and AEC Innovation Day in Phoenix, Ariz., hosted by Hensel Phelps, receiving enthusiastic feedback from AEC industry attendees.
How Autonomous Construction Robots Are Advancing High-Wall Finishing in the U.S.
The EG7+ can be used for high wall projects, reaching 24 feet for sanding, painting, and level 4 finishing.
Last month’s event highlighted creative innovations aimed at improving safety and efficiency in building practices, and Okibo’s participation stood out. The EG7+ showcased an "impressive" degree of autonomy and high-wall precision that captured the attention of attendees throughout the program, according to Thai Nguyen, Director of Innovation, Hensel Phelps.
"This robot isn't just a tool; it's a major step forward in protecting our skilled workforce while achieving exceptional quality. We are excited about the potential of the EG7+," says Nguyen.
Boosting Jobsite Productivity and Worker Safety With AI-Driven Finishing Tools
The EG7+ is battery-powered and requires zero site preparation, external references, or technical expertise to operate. Unlike systems that depend on external markers or BIM tools, the EG7+ uses a patented AI-driven 3D scanning and real-time modeling algorithm for navigation and execution.
It can finish an average of 1,000 sf per hour, operating completely independently—no cords, pumps, or Wi-Fi required. Weighing just 800 pounds and at only 27 inches wide with omnidirectional serve drive, the robot has high maneuverability in confined spaces.
“Customers have noted up to a 5x increase in productivity for Level 4 and Level 5 sanding jobs, while consistently meeting quality standards,” says Nadav Shuruk, COO and Co-founder, Okibo.
