A Chennai startup says the answer is to print them: its industrial metal 3D printer builds precision components layer […] https://exceptional.technology/origin-og1-drywall-robot-finishing-walls-3x-faster/ 2026-10-17 monthly 0.8 https://exceptional.technology/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/origin-og1-robot.png Apply, sand, prime — at three times human speed: inside Origin, the startup putting a drywall robot on live job sites Image credit: Origin A sheet of drywall goes up in minutes. The finishing — the joint compound, the sanding, the priming, the endless coats — is what actually stretches a construction schedule. On a large project it is repetitive, dusty, physically punishing work, and skilled finishers are getting harder to find eve... https://exceptional.technology/pace-robotics-centa-painter-construction-robot-india/ 2026-10-17 monthly 0.8 https://exceptional.technology/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pace-robotics-centa-painter-featured-scaled.jpg Putty, sand, prime, paint — at ten times human speed: inside Pace Robotics, the Bengaluru startup putting robots on India’s construction sites Image credit: Pace Robotics Paint a wall, and the result depends on the wrist behind the roller — the pressure, the overlap, the day the painter is having.
