Painting robotics company enters U.S.
Okibo, a construction robotics company, has opened its U.S. headquarters in Englewood, New Jersey. The move coincides with the company's official launch of its EG7 robot in the American market.
Okibo says its fully autonomous, AI-guided painting and drywall finishing robots are already active on U.S. construction sites, having covered more than one million square feet in Europe.
The EG7 is a battery-powered robot requiring 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 square feet per hour, operating completely independently—no cords, pumps, or Wi-Fi required.
Features of the EG7 Include:
- Fully independent. No external pump, hose, cords, sensors, Wi-Fi/5G, or site prep required.
- Compact & lightweight: Weighs just 800 pounds and is only 27 inches wide—fits through standard doorways and tight spaces.
- Omnidirectional swerve drive: High maneuverability in confined environments like residential, multifamily and office projects.
- Standard club cart 5kWh batteries: Reliable and easily replaceable.
- CE certified: Compliant with multiple machine safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
"In an industry rapidly adopting technologies to enhance safety and performance, Okibo robots require no setup or technical skills to operate," said Nadav Shuruk, COO and co-founder of Okibo. "They reduce dust, improve air quality and eliminate common physical injuries on site—robots don't fall off ladders or suffer repetitive strain injuries."
"Younger generations raised on technology expect safer, more efficient job sites. Okibo helps firms meet those expectations," added Shuruk.
