It takes a robot about 90 minutes to paint a four-room flat.
A robot used for painting walls from Shenzhen-based tech firm Legend Robot at BCA’s Robotics Technology Exchange on Aug 30.
The technology exchange is an event showcasing innovative technologies, and allows people in the industry to network and stay up-to-date with solutions in the market. The painting robot by Shenzhen-based tech firm Legend Robot takes about 90 minutes to paint a four-room flat, said Mr Delsen Toh, general manager of local company TOT Construction. The firm is the distributor for the robot in Singapore.“One worker can operate up to three robots, and they just have to top up paint, change its battery, and wash it. Using the robot frees up workers to do other tasks,” Mr Toh said.
Mr Jason Lin, director of JH Construction, said although the robot was a costly investment, productivity had increased by 80 per cent. “At this point, the tech is not yet so advanced that we can replace the human workforce, but it can be complementary,” Mr Lin said.Mr Tan said that robots are deployed to protect workers from risk, such as working from a height, minimising cases of injuries and deaths. He pointed to a drilling and anchoring robot by Hong Kong firm CSC Robo, which can drill on walls and ceilings.
