How it works on your site

Origin's OG1 is a modular mobile drywall-finishing robot. It is a wheeled base with a robot arm and swappable sprayer and sander tools, running semi-autonomously with one operator alongside. It finishes walls to 12 ft, fits through a 3 ft alley, and runs 6 hours per battery with two swappable packs for a full shift. Live capabilities today are L4 drywall finishing (spraying and sanding) and priming/paint, with more capabilities in development. The operator scans the wall, selects the finish level, and the robot runs the pass, with inspection and QA reporting built into the platform.

Painting

The arm carries an off-the-shelf spray gun as one of several hot-swappable end-effectors, so the same base that sands joint compound also sprays paint, with tool communication over CANopen or EtherCAT. Lidar and depth cameras do the sensing, and a vendor field team runs the machine on site through the deployment.

Will it work on your site

Autonomy
One operator per robot. The operator maps the space, selects walls, fits the tool and loads material; the robot runs the finishing pass and QA check on its own.
Surface
Interior drywall walls: joint compound, sanding, priming and paint, to 12 ft (3.7 m) wall height. Taping is announced, not live.
Site preparation
Operator creates a map of the space and selects the walls, then attaches the tool and loads compound or paint. Robot clears a 3 ft alley; footprint 35 x 30 in.
Speed
OEM: about 4,800 sq ft per day of joint compound and about 2,500 sq ft per day of sanding, per robot.
BIM/CAD requirements
Setup starts with a site map the operator builds on the machine and a wall selection; no drawing or model file is listed in the OEM workflow.
Navigation
Works from a map the operator creates on site; OEM describes real-time obstacle handling on live, changing job sites.

Control interface
Operator station on the robot for map creation, wall selection and job start; progress updates are reported in real time during the run.
Environment
Interior finishing on live, occupied job sites. Clears a 3 ft alley. Deployments to date are New York City sites, including two Brooklyn pilots.
Power
Swappable battery, up to 6 hours per charge; two packs per robot for a full shift.
Weight
About 880 lb (400 kg). Footprint 35 x 30 in (90 x 75 cm).
Generation
OG1, first generation. First prototype March 2025, first customer-site deployment July 2025, customer-ready product September 2025, first New York deployment November 2025.
OEM-stated scale
OEM, August 2026: 100K+ sq ft delivered, 5K+ hours of run-time logged, 20 robots contracted.
Other capabilities
Announced tools: taping and intumescent fireproofing (2026), drywall install, wall-stud framing, batt and spray-foam insulation and 24 ft reach (Q1 2027). Inspection and QA reporting is platform-wide.
