Okibo
Okibo is a construction robotics line built around autonomous finishing machines such as the EG7, which applies plaster, paint, and related interior finishes on job sites using onboard scanning, path planning, and battery-powered mobility without external cables or total stations.
Okibo targets general contractors and specialty finish crews that need repeatable drywall and coating production in corridors, units, and other interior spaces. The EG7 is positioned as a self-contained unit with swerve drive for tight layouts, quick-change end effectors, and onboard material handling such as an 18-gallon hopper or dust collection for sanding workflows.
Marketing states the system has processed more than one million square feet across Europe and is active on major U.S. job sites, with throughput on the order of one thousand square feet per hour in typical applications (Okibo, 2026). Published hardware notes include roughly eight-hundred-pound weight, twenty-seven-inch width to pass standard doors, and club-car style five kilowatt-hour batteries.
Safety messaging emphasizes reduced ladder work and dust exposure compared with manual repetitive tasks, alongside CE certification references for machine safety and EMC. Okibo explicitly notes the EG7 does not require BIM tools or pre-marked layouts for basic operation, which matters when you compare it to layout-heavy alternatives.
Deployment, leasing, and regional service details are sales-led; confirm training, insurance, and site access rules before piloting a robot on an occupied project.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Focuses on interior finishing, a labor-heavy trade with repeatable geometry.
- Self-contained power and locomotion reduce cord and scaffold dependency in many scenarios.
- Public throughput and area statistics you can validate in trials.
Cons
- Purchase or rental economics are not listed online.
- Primarily interior; not a substitute for structural concrete or exterior envelope robots.
- Requires trained operators, site inductions, and integration with your safety plan.
Key features
EG7 mobile robot: Autonomous interior finishing for plaster, paint, and related tasks with omnidirectional drive.
Onboard perception: AI-guided scanning and modeling used to plan passes without separate survey gear on every run.
Cordless operation: Battery-powered platform marketed without external pumps, hoses, or continuous power cords.
Quick-change tooling: End effectors swap for coatings versus sanding and dust collection.

Frequently asked questions
Does Okibo replace drywall hangers?
- Okibo focuses on finishing passes such as plaster and paint after board is in place, not on hanging boards end to end. Expect coordination with traditional or prefab wall installation.
Do I need a BIM model for Okibo to work?
- Okibo states the EG7 does not require BIM tools or special marking for basic operation because it carries onboard scanning. You should still align grid, tolerances, and QA with your project standards.
What productivity does Okibo claim?
- Marketing cites about one thousand square feet per hour for the EG7 in representative conditions. Benchmark on your own mock-ups before locking bid productivity.
Is Okibo the same as exterior painting robots?
- No; Okibo is oriented to interior finishing robotics. Exterior robotic painting services such as PaintJet address different envelopes and access methods.
Where is Okibo deployed?
- The vendor cites work in Europe and the United States. Ask for regional availability, service response times, and spare-parts logistics.
What certification does Okibo mention?
- The site references CE certification covering machine safety and electromagnetic compatibility topics. Confirm any additional local machinery rules for your country.
