Canvas anchors the cobot-assisted finishing task type of the construction cohort: a Universal Robots UR10e arm on a mobile base operated by a union carpenter, distinct from ICON's autonomous 3D printing and FBR's autonomous bricklaying boom.
✔
It is a real commercial deployment: the robot applies and sands drywall compound to a finished surface on commercial construction projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, operated by trained union carpenters.
Price
No reviewed price is on record. We do not treat unverified analyst estimates as pricing data. There is no consumer price. The Canvas robot is B2B construction equipment, not a product sold to consumers, so DEPLOY records zero price points.
Availability
Internal use only
This is B2B construction equipment, not a consumer product. From Canvas (now a JLG Industries / Oshkosh company), the robot is deployed on commercial construction projects in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Real-world status
Canvas (San Francisco; founder and CEO Kevin Albert, formerly of Boston Dynamics) makes a drywall-finishing robot: a Universal Robots UR10e collaborative arm mounted on a mobile base that applies and sands drywall compound to a finished wall surface, operated by a trained union carpenter. It anchors the cobot-assisted finishing task type of DEPLOY's construction cohort: a human carpenter operates the robot, rather than full autonomy. It is at commercial maturity, deployed on commercial construction projects in the San Francisco Bay Area. A verified-vs-claimed correction: Canvas was acquired by JLG Industries (an Oshkosh Corporation company) around January 2026, in a core-technology and asset acquisition with undisclosed terms; framings that attribute the acquisition to Dusty Robotics are incorrect (independent research confirms the acquirer is JLG/Oshkosh, and the two companies are unrelated). Operations continue under JLG/Oshkosh, so the line is active.
