Overview

Transforma Robotics' Pictobot (model PBA300) is an autonomous spray-painting robot that uses 3D perception and AI to scan building interiors, plan painting paths, and apply paint on walls up to 10 meters high while avoiding doors and windows. The robot achieves 25% faster painting speed than a crew of two painters and received BCA regulatory approval for commercial deployment in Singapore from MOM, BCA, NEA, LTA, and MOH. The NTU spin-off, founded in 2017, won the Red Dot International Design Award in 2020.
