Origin vs Okibo
Two AI-first interior finishing robots: Okibo's EG7 paints, coats and finishes drywall; Origin describes one multi-trade robot with a modular tool system. Not like-for-like: Okibo publishes a spec sheet for one product, Origin publishes a concept and a few totals. Vendor-published facts only; desk research, not tested.
In short: Origin (Construction robotics; no public prices (quote / sales)) vs Okibo (Painting & drywall finishing robots; no public prices (quote / sales)). Facts last checked Oct 16, 2026. No winner declared; not tested.

Where the vendor descriptions differ
- Task: Okibo lists painting, coating and drywall finishing, with the hopper swapping for a dust collector for sanding. Origin says "one robot, any trade" through a modular tool system for interior finishing; a news post on its site (Oct 15, 2026) describes expanding the platform beyond wall finishing, and the homepage does not list which trades it performs today.
- Autonomy: Okibo says the EG7 uses patented AI-guided 3D scanning and real-time modeling and needs no BIM, markings or site prep. Origin describes simulation-trained autonomy and built-in defect detection and correction (vendor claims).
- Size and setting: Okibo lists the EG7 at 800 lb and 27 in wide (fits standard doorways) for residential, multifamily and office interiors. Origin says its robot passes through the smallest doors and names multifamily housing, office, hotel and warehouse work, without published dimensions.
- Published figures: Okibo states about 1,000 sq ft per hour. Origin cites 100k+ sq ft and 5,000 hours of work delivered. Different measures, so not like-for-like, and all are vendor claims, not verified. Origin's homepage also shows benefit percentages that differ between sections; we did not record them.
- Pricing: neither publishes prices. Okibo offers "Order a Robot" and "Get in touch"; Origin has no pricing page and routes to a contact form.
Paraphrased from the sources listed above. Vendor claims are reported as claims.
What we can't tell you yet
Which tool is better for your work. That needs testing on the same package with a verified answer key. Planned measures for this comparison:
- Output per shift against a crew doing the same finishing task
- Rework rate and touch-up time after the robot
- Setup, transport and operator training time
See the methodology and leaderboard status.
