What OKIBO does

OKIBO is an Israeli construction technology startup founded in 2018 that develops autonomous, AI-guided mobile robots for construction finishing tasks. Its core product, the EG7+, is an 800-pound battery-powered robot with omnidirectional drive and a 27-inch width for maneuverability in confined spaces. The robot is engineered for high-wall sanding, painting, and level 4 drywall finishing at heights up to 24 feet, using a patented AI-driven 3D scanning and real-time modeling system for autonomous navigation. The system claims a finishing rate of 1,000 square feet per hour and productivity gains of up to 5x compared to manual labor, addressing acute labor shortages in the US construction market.

The company operates an enterprise hardware-sales business model, selling EG7+ units via quote-based direct sales to large construction contractors, typically on multi-year contracts. OKIBO is headquartered in Petah Tiqwa, Israel, with US operations based in New Jersey. In December 2025, the company executed a national US launch of the EG7+ following a successful premiere at Hensel Phelps' Innovation Day in Phoenix, Arizona. A $7.85 million equity funding round closed in March 2024 — co-led by BitStone Capital (Germany) and Shadow Ventures (US), with participation from Built-in Tech Pi Labs, Saint-Gobain, DAW SE, BuiltUp Ventures, and Yanushevsky — is being deployed for commercialization expansion across the US and Europe and continued development of robotic construction applications. The company is led by founder and CEO Guy German and co-founder and COO Nadav Shuruk.

Direct peers

• Canvas: Canvas builds an autonomous drywall finishing robot that automates taping and mudding on commercial construction sites — the closest functional competitor to Okibo's EG7+ in high-wall drywall finishing. Both target large US GCs with field-deployable finishing automation addressing skilled-labor shortages.
• Dusty Robotics: Dusty Robotics builds BIM-driven autonomous layout robots that print multi-trade layouts directly onto construction floors. Directly comparable as a site-deployable, AI/autonomy-driven construction robot sold to enterprise US GCs, addressing similar labor-shortage economics.
• Advanced Construction Robotics (ACR): ACR builds rebar-tying (TyBOT) and rebar-lifting (IronBOT) robots for concrete and infrastructure sites. A directly comparable autonomous construction-trade robot vendor selling productivity-uplift hardware to large contractors with similar enterprise sales cycles.

Broad incumbents

• Hilti (Jaibot): Hilti's Jaibot is a semi-autonomous drilling robot for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades on commercial jobsites. Hilti is a global tool/equipment incumbent with deep contractor relationships that Okibo must sell into — directly comparable construction trades automation with much larger distribution.
• HP SitePrint: HP SitePrint is an autonomous construction layout robot that prints floor layouts on site, launched by HP's Large Format Printing division — a large-incumbent entry into field-deployable construction robotics selling into the same enterprise GC base Okibo targets.
• COBOD International: COBOD is a leading construction 3D printing robotics company used globally for printing building walls on commercial sites. Comparable as a construction-trades automation vendor with an enterprise sales motion to US and European contractors, addressing productivity and labor gaps.

Emerging players

• Scaled Robotics: Scaled Robotics develops AI-enabled mobile robots that scan construction sites for progress monitoring and quality control. Overlaps with Okibo's mobile, computer-vision/autonomy-driven construction robot model and similar trade-contractor pain points (variability, quality consistency).
• Kewazo: Kewazo builds autonomous scaffolding-assembly robots for construction and industrial sites. Comparable as an early-stage, European-headquartered construction robotics vendor targeting labor shortages and productivity gains with similar enterprise GTM.
