Global Leader in Construction Painting and Drywall Finishing Robotics, Launches US Headquarters
Company’s Much Anticipated EG7 Robot Now Available in American Market
Okibo, the leader in construction robotics innovation bringing value-add safety and efficiency to skilled teams, today announces the launch of the company’s United States headquarters and the availability of its much anticipated EG7 robot. With its US offices established in 2024 in Englewood, NJ, the company’s AI-guided painting and drywall finishing robot has already covered more than one million square feet across Europe and is being utilized today on major American construction sites.
Unlike systems that rely on external references, the EG7, is completely autonomous, utilizing a patented AI-guided 3D scanning and real-time modeling algorithm to guide the robot with zero preparations, measurement tools, special marking, or BIM tools. Able to finish an average of 1,000 square feet per hour, the EG7 is a fully independent, battery-operated unit unconstrained by external equipment or cables. Key features include:
Fully Independent
No external pump, hose, electrical cord, WiFi/5G, total station, or external sensors needed - no markings or site preparations required.
Lightweight & Powerful
Weighing in at just 800 pounds, the EG7 is compact yet mighty.
Small
At just 27 inches wide, the EG7 easily fits through any standard doorways, making it perfect for navigating tight spaces.
Modular Design
The manipulator detaches quickly for transport, while the onboard pump and 18-gallon hopper cage swap easily for a dust collector, for sanding applications. End effectors use a "quick-change" system for maximum flexibility.
Swerve Drive for Maximum Agility
Full omnidirectional movement allows the EG7 to maneuver effortlessly in confined spaces, which is ideal for residential, multifamily, and office environments.
Standard Club Cart 5kWh Batteries
Reliable, easy to replace, and built for long-lasting performance.
CE Certification
The EG7 has CE Certification, which includes multiple machine safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
“In an industry that is quickly adapting new technologies to improve performance and safety, our robots are designed to operate alongside humans and literally require no tech skills or set up time. Not only can construction sites become significantly more efficient with Okibo on their team, they can become incredibly safer. Robots can’t fall off ladders or get neck, back, arm and shoulder injuries from repetitive movements, and Okibo’s robots nearly eliminate dust on a jobsite, leading to healthier indoor air quality (IAQ) and better respiratory health,” says Nadav Shuruk, COO and co-founder, Okibo.
“We have been utilizing Okibo’s robot on our large construction site in Pennsylvania,” says XXX of Performance Contracting Group. Draft quote for approval “We have saved X hours, safety message, etc.”
Okibo’s robotic innovations help the largest labor intensive market in the world close the gap on its current serious labor crisis. The National Center for Construction Education and Research estimates that 41 percent of the construction workforce will retire by 2031.
“There is no questioning the problem of construction’s labor shortage. Firms are putting in place multiple strategies to attract new, young talent to the industry – a group of people who were raised on technology. Future construction teams expect employers to utilize innovations that make jobs safer and more efficient,” says Shuruk.
