On September 16, 2025, SPRINT Robotics hosted the Painting Challenge Demo Day at the PRCI Facility in Houston, where Confined Spaces Robotics (CSR), Hibot, and Integra LASER showcased advances in robotic coating and surface preparation for complex geometries such as piping skids. Live demonstrations from CSR and Hibot, alongside Integra LASER’s R&D presentation, highlighted meaningful progress across the technologies.
The event concluded with an open industry discussion on adoption challenges, scaling, and collaboration. Key takeaways included the need for structured pilot programs, sustained asset-owner commitment, and continued cross-industry collaboration, with the next Painting Challenge event targeted for Q3 2026.
