Canvas has been featured in Tech Briefs, a leading resource for cutting-edge technology insights. The Tech Briefs article highlights Canvas’ robot that revolutionizes one of the most labor-intensive tasks in construction: drywall finishing.
Traditionally, achieving a flawless Level 4 or Level 5 finish takes five to seven days of grueling, repetitive work. The Canvas robotic drywall system, powered by Universal Robots’ UR10e cobot, compresses that timeline to just two days.
Canvas’ breakthrough solution combines AI-driven sensing with a mobile robotic platform that requires no pre-mapping or blueprints. Crews simply roll it onto the jobsite, and the system automatically detects the site — applying compound precisely in one pass, followed by sanding the next day e.g., only three visits to a 20,000 ft² wall area versus what would normally equate to 100,000 ft² of manual effort.
The robot also takes on the heavy lifting and repetitive sanding, allowing drywall crews to boost productivity while protecting workers’ health.
With Canvas, builders can deliver projects faster, scale crews more efficiently, and set new standards for safety and quality — a true game-changer for modern construction.
