Okibo launches autonomous, AI-guided painting and drywall finishing EG7+ robot

Okibo's EG7+ painting and drywall finishing robot can extend to a height of 24 feet.

Construction robotics company Okibo, which said it is bringing value-add safety and efficiency to skilled teams with robotics, announced the launch of the EG7+ robot. The company describes EG7+ as a fully autonomous, AI-guided painting and drywall finishing robot.

It debuted at Federal and AEC Innovation Day in Phoenix, Ariz., hosted by general contractor Hensel Phelps.

Multiple construction uses for the EG7+ robot  

Okibo said that the EG7+ can be used for high wall projects, reaching 24 feet for sanding, painting and level 4 finishing.

“We were thrilled to invite Okibo to participate in our event last month, focused on creative innovations addressing the industry's need for safer and more efficient building practices,” said Thai Nguyen, director of innovation at Hensel Phelps. “The EG7+ demonstrated a remarkable level of autonomy and precision for high walls that caught the attention of everyone present. 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+.”

Okibo said that 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 company said that 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 square feet per hour, operating completely independently, without any cords, pumps or Wi-Fi required.

Okibo said the robot weighs 800 pounds and, at 27 inches wide with omnidirectional serve drive, the robot has high maneuverability in confined spaces.

“With the EG7+, workers are experiencing a significant reduction in physical burnout and fatigue among finish crews by eliminating the need for repetitive overhead work,” said Nadav Shuruk, co-founder and COO of Okibo. “Additionally, customers have noted up to a 5x increase in productivity for Level 4 and Level 5 sanding jobs, while consistently meeting quality standards.”

In August 2025, Okibo’s construction robotics platform was used by Performance Contracting Inc. (PCI) on the Netflix House project.
