## Common questions

### What is Canvas drywall-finishing robot?

Canvas (San Francisco; founder and CEO Kevin Albert, formerly of Boston Dynamics; about $43M+ raised including a $24M round) makes a drywall-finishing robot: a Universal Robots UR10e collaborative arm mounted on a mobile base that applies and sands drywall compound to a finished wall surface, operated by a trained union carpenter. It has been deployed on commercial construction projects in the San Francisco Bay Area and is recorded at commercial maturity. An important correction worth recording: Canvas was acquired by JLG Industries (an Oshkosh Corporation company) around January 2026, in a core-technology and asset acquisition with undisclosed terms. This contradicts the originating dispatch's premise that Dusty Robotics acquired Canvas; two independent research passes confirm the acquirer is JLG/Oshkosh, not Dusty, and the two companies are unrelated. Operations continue under JLG/Oshkosh, so the lifecycle state is active.

### Who makes Canvas drywall-finishing robot?

Canvas drywall-finishing robot is made by Canvas, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2017.

### Where is Canvas drywall-finishing robot deployed?

No verified deployments of Canvas drywall-finishing robot are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is Canvas drywall-finishing robot's maturity stage?

Canvas drywall-finishing robot is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
