At ROICO Solutions we are developing a collaborative painting robot working alongside painters boosting productivity, reducing physical strain, and addressing labour shortage on the construction site. We focus on ease-of-use with a plug-and-play design for increased mobility and flexibility. We experienced ourselves how challenging and physically demanding it was to paint. This made us curious to figure out what construction painters are faced with. - Painters have the lowest margins in construction - 86% of painting companies experience an increasing skilled labour shortage - 33% of all EU painters will retire within a decade, while labour shortage increases We aim to solve these issues with a collaborative, semiautonomous robotic painting solution for construction painters. Our solution: - Paints walls and ceilings up to 3.5 meters high using an extendable pillar; - Navigates autonomously along walls through a mobile base; - Object detection to recognize areas that should not be painted (e.g. windows or sockets); - Uses sensors to detect any obstacles or people to avoid collisions; - Mobile application allows manual control or semi-autonomous mode - Software and sensors gather data (e.g. wall type, objects on the wall and ceiling, paint consumption, activity timer, and data associated with navigation and mapping)
