Okibo Opens US Headquarters in Englewood

On Apr 3, 2025

Okibo, a company that specializes in construction robotics, has opened its U.S. headquarters in Englewood, and has launched its EG7 robot in the American market. After establishing its U.S. base in 2024, Okibo’s fully autonomous, AI-guided painting and drywall finishing robots are already active on major American construction sites, having covered more than one million square feet in Europe.

The EG7 is a next-generation, battery-powered robot requiring zero site preparation, external references, or technical expertise to operate. Unlike systems that depend on external markers or BIM tools, the EG7 uses a patented AI-driven 3D scanning and real-time modeling algorithm for navigation and execution. It can finish an average of 1,000 square feet per hour, operating completely independently—no cords, pumps, or Wi-Fi required.

“In an industry rapidly adopting technologies to enhance safety and performance, Okibo robots require no setup or technical skills to operate,” said Nadav Shuruk, COO and co-founder of Okibo. “They reduce dust, improve air quality, and eliminate common physical injuries on site—robots don’t fall off ladders or suffer repetitive strain injuries.”

As the construction industry faces a looming labor crisis—the National Center for Construction Education and Research projects 41% of the workforce will retire by 2031—Okibo offers a critical solution. “Younger generations raised on technology expect safer, more efficient job sites. Okibo helps firms meet those expectations,” added Shuruk.
