Problem: The troubles of painting
Painting walls correctly involve time, dedication, and a large amount of skill. For these reasons, painting has been left to professionals over a matter of days, limiting the interior design market as well as the average DIY person.
Reaching for possibilities
With the painter bot known as "Artron", DIY people and designers can sit back as the robot paints their walls through the powers of airbrushing.
