Practical Uses of Painting Robot for Exterior Walls of High-Rise Buildings Masahiro Takeno, Akira Matsumura, Shigeru Sakamoto, Yoshihito Sakai, Atsushi Shirato Pages 285-292 (1989 Proceedings of the 6th ISARC, San Francisco, USA, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: The robot automates the operation painting on exterior walls of high-rise buildings. The robot is designed to ensure safety during work at high elevations, assure the quality of the coating, enhances efficiency and maintain the privacy of guests in the building. At the Shinjuku Center Building (54 above-ground storeys, 220 m in height, 100,000 m2 of coating) one of Tokyo’s high-rise buildings, an operation to paint the exterior walls has been in progress since September 1988 using this robot. The surface of the building is very complex and therefore presented significant testing conditions for the implementation of robotized operation. This paper gives an outline of the painting robot and describes a number of new experiences and the measure implemented to cope with them during the actual execution of the work.
