Development of Wall Painting Robot

Abstract

Wall painting as well as inspection works for structures, so far, have been performed manually through use of scaffolds or gondolas provisionally built all around the subject wall, which, therefore, having raised many problems such as high personal risks, unclean work environments, etc.. The wall painting robot developed this time can perform, as moving attracted on a wall as being pre-programmed, not only general type of coating in a single color through use of spray guns mounted on the arm but also picture painting in multiple colors based on picture data incorporated in the robot controlling computer. No.2 model, an improved type of the above, can perform not only the original functions but also various other works on a wall such as wall cleaning and tile separation sensing through changing of an attachment.
