Construction may well prove to be the next major focus for robotics investment. Here in the States, the $2 trillion industry employs around eight million people — that’s nearly one New York City. Even in financial boom times, however, these jobs can be difficult to keep filled, owing to physical demands and other potential dangers.

Industrial painting is well primed for automation. After all, a good bit of heavy machinery is involved in larger projects. As evidenced from videos released by PaintJet, those sorts of older technologies remain intact here — albeit with an automated twist. Announced in October, the Nashville startup’s Bravo robotic painter looks more or less like a mobile elevated work platform (cherry picker).
