Electronic wall decoration worker

Bangalore-based startup Pace Robotics is building a robot for indoor wall decoration. In India, it turned out, the problems with workers doing repairs are the same as in Russia. There are not enough qualified plasterers and painters. The quality of their work, as well as productivity, is unpredictable and varies from project to project.

Srinivas and Ayushmoy, the startup founders, decided that robots were essential. They have created a prototype of a device that does work, on average, ten times faster than a person and three times cheaper. And, most importantly, your wall will look exactly the same across the entire surface, even if you want to make it textured.

The entrepreneurs have attracted just over $70K in investments. That is a small amount by the standards of Silicon Valley but quite decent for Indian Bangalore.

So far, the team has created only eight copies of the wall decorating robot. We know that the path from this stage to the industrially produced product is thorny and long. But the guys are doing well - there are already four pilot projects, one of which the client paid. The company provides the robot as a service, according to the RaaS model. We will look at them in a year or two. A plasterer-painter priced well below a sports bike for a day of work may come in handy for many.
