Summary
An Estonian inventor built a wall-climbing robot named Albert that uses AI to spray-paint murals on buildings, covering up to 240m² per day, 100x faster than manual painting.

i can’t get enough of these DIY robotics projects
this Estonian inventor built a robot that spray-paints images onto the sides of buildings
he wanted to put murals on buildings without the scaffolding, crews, and the weeks of manual painting…
so he spent years building a wall-climbing robot that prints them instead.
here’s how it works:
-
you start with any image
-
AI breaks that image down into thousands of tiny colored dots
-
those dots turn into instructions telling the robot exactly where to move and when to fire paint
-
the robot climbs the wall on Kevlar cables, with little propellers pushing it flat against the building
-
it fires paint dot by dot across the surface of the wall
-
up close it’s just scattered dots, but from the street it snaps into a full mural
the robot muralist is nicknamed Albert (after the Einstein mural it first painted)
Albert can cover a whole 240-square-meter wall in a single day, up to 100x faster than a crew painting by hand
he’s already used it on real buildings across Estonia and even the walls of Tesla’s factory in Berlin
my favorite part is knowing a prompt someone typed on a laptop is now four stories tall on a real wall lol
