What they do

Vividobots makes robots that clean and paint the outside of tall buildings

It raised ₹1.47 crore in seed funding from Inflection Point Ventures

The robots are faster and safer than human workers for high-rise work

Vividobots is a Chennai-based deep tech startup that builds robots for high-rise building exterior cleaning and painting.
The company raised ₹1.47 crore in seed funding from Inflection Point Ventures.
Founder Dinesh was inspired after a high-rise building painter fell from a building during his undergraduate days.
Co-founder Velmurugan and all three founders hold master's degrees from Anna University.
The product Wiperque is a facade cleaning robot that handles flat exterior surfaces on buildings up to 30 floors high.
Wiperque withstands wind speeds up to 55 km/h and uses brushes, water spray, and a wiper.
The product Vibrantque is a wall painting robot currently in testing, with pilot demonstrations next month.
Vibrantque carries its own 40-litre paint canister, supports multicolour painting in a single session, and has a robotic arm for building projections and window edges.

Interior painting robots exist, but robots for uncontrolled outdoor environments are essentially nonexistent.
There is no ready-made training data for such robots, making development challenging.
ROS (Robot Operating System) is an emerging field, making experienced engineers hard to find.
The robots are faster than human workers, have lower operating costs, and reduce safety risks.
