A US construction robotics company has launched a new machine for drywall finishing projects.

Kevin Albert, co-founder and chief executive of Canvas, said: “We have worked closely with our customers to build a revolutionary new platform. The 1200CX addresses our customers’ needs by bringing them a system that can get into all of the corners of their buildings while improving productivity.”
Designed to be operated by workers, the Canvas system is said to dramatically reduces the time required to apply and finish the drywall, compared to traditional manual processes.
According to the company, it’s machines provides a flexible approach to drywall finishing that combines technology with the skills and expertise of trained workers.
The 1200CX also features wireless software updates, which the company claims offers continuous enhancement of its operation, and even new features.
Maria Telleria, co-founder and chief technology officer at Canvas, said: “For the first time in the history of construction, the tools we are providing for our workers only get better after the initial purchase. We are constantly improving the quality, safety, consistency, and productivity of our products enabling our clients to stay at the front of the industry.”
