How it works on your site
LAYERED, an ETH Zurich spin-off in Lupfig, Switzerland, builds a mobile robot that sprays plaster or a protective coating straight onto walls on site, from a spray head on a collaborative arm that plans and executes its spray path while it moves. The robot scans the wall and applies the layer; a worker picks the surfaces to treat on an iPhone XR interface and supervises the run, with no plastering expertise needed to operate it.
Skim Coating (Level 5 Only)
The robot scans the wall, and a worker selects the surfaces to treat on a simple interface. It then sprays a thin, even layer of plaster or coating over the whole selected area, moving along the wall as it works.

Will it work on your site
- Surface
- Walls on site: the maker's photos show plaster sprayed over interior brick masonry walls.
- Speed
- Vendor: 2x faster, with 20% material savings.
- What it prints
- Thin layers of plaster or protective coating, sprayed while the robot moves.
- Navigation
- Scans the wall before spraying; the worker selects the surfaces to treat from the scan.
- Autonomy
- Plans and executes the spray path by itself. A worker selects the surfaces and supervises; the maker says non-expert construction workers run it.
- Control interface
- XR interface on a standard iPhone.
