Autonomous drywall sanding robot

Sanding is the most physically punishing, dustiest task in drywall finishing. Okibo robots sand walls, joints and ceilings to Level 4 and Level 5 on their own, with an onboard dust collector, while your crew focuses on the finish.

Joint sanding, one joint after another

After a tool change, the robot sands each taped joint from bottom to top and moves on to the next, with dust captured at the source. The second half is one continuous take.

Take the hardest hours off your finishers.

Overhead and high-wall sanding drives fatigue, injuries and dust exposure, and it is the work crews least want to do.

The robot sands to a consistent finish at a steady pace, with dust captured at the source. Your finishers inspect and touch up instead of spending the day under a pole sander.

What it sands

  • Level 4 and Level 5 sanding
  • Dedicated joint sanding
  • Ceilings, without ladders or scaffolding for the crew
  • High walls up to 24 ft (EG7+)
  • Onboard dust collector swaps in for the paint hopper

On site in minutes, not days.

There is nothing to prepare: no BIM model, no pre-scan, no markers and no programming. Your crew sets the robot up the way they would set up a sprayer.

“I used a traditional power sander in one of the largest rooms on this job, and it took me all day. I was physically exhausted. Then I used the Okibo robot in an identical room, and I didn’t feel drained at all.”

Questions contractors ask

What finish levels can it sand?

Level 4 and Level 5. Joint sanding is a dedicated application.

How much faster is it than manual sanding?

Contractors using Okibo robots have reported up to a 5x increase in productivity on Level 4 and Level 5 sanding on live commercial projects.

What about dust?

The EG7 carries a dust collector in place of the paint hopper for sanding, capturing dust at the source.

Can it sand ceilings?

Yes. Ceiling sanding is one of its applications, so your crew doesn’t need lifts or scaffolding for that work.

Does it need a BIM model or markers?

No. The robot models the room itself, in real time, with no preparation.
