“…AGVs are used mainly for transporting or searching items throughout a factory, existing vehicles for specific industrial environments [116], [117], [118]. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have also become very popular in the last years and they have been used in multiple industrial environments [119], [120], [121], [122].…”

Industry 4.0 is a concept devised for improving the way modern factories operate through the use of some of the latest technologies, like the ones used for creating Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotics or Big Data applications. One of such technologies is blockchain, which is able to add trust, security and decentralization to different industrial fields. This article focuses on analyzing the benefits and challenges that arise when using blockchain and smart contracts to develop Industry 4.0 applications. In addition, this paper presents a thorough review on the most relevant blockchain-based applications for Industry 4.0 technologies. Thus, its aim is to provide a detailed guide for future Industry 4.0 developers that allows for determining how blockchain can enhance the next generation of cybersecure industrial applications.

“…Another application of robots in art, other than in pen drawing and brush painting, is that of spray painting, a task typically employed in industry [21][22][23]. Examples of robotic spray painting for artistic purposes can be found in the works of Viola Ago [24] and L. Scalera et al [25], who adopted industrial robotic arms equipped with an airbrush, and in the work of A. S. Vempati et al, who developed PaintCopter, an autonomous UAV for spray painting on 3D surfaces [26].…”

In this paper, we present non-photorealistic rendering techniques that are applied together with a painting robot to realize artworks with original styles. Our robotic painting system is called Busker Robot and it has been considered of interest in recent art fairs and international exhibitions. It consists of a six degree-of-freedom collaborative robot and a series of image processing and path planning algorithms. In particular, here, two different rendering techniques are presented and a description of the experimental set-up is carried out. Finally, the experimental results are discussed by analyzing the elements that can account for the aesthetic appreciation of the artworks.

“…The spray painting using a UAV expected will be suitable for industrial construction applications because UAV can be a variety of size especially at confine, narrow space and the height of the building that gives the limitation of space for the labour to do the painting work. Painting using a UAV has the potential to produce actual (predictable and repeatable) painted appearance, to be low-cost, and importantly to avoid the need for scaffolding and ladders which is the safety of the worker in a high level of building due to fall is secure [1]. The positive outcomes of this research can be used to create a new guideline associated with future technology in the construction industry that will give benefit to the country`s development such as the current issue on painting work.…”

“…Drones have helped revolutionize the planning stages of construction, along with land surveying, data capturing and robotic painting. Robotic painting using a UAV has the potential to produce accurate (predictable and repeatable) painted appearance, to be low-cost, and to avoid the need for scaffolding and ladders [1]. These are just a few of the routines for drones in construction.…”

Safety and health issues keep on critical to the construction industry due to its working environment and the complexity of working practises. In Malaysia nowadays, the method of conventional painting work usually is using a platform or scaffolding, ladder, ropes and gondola. In term of safety and cost, conventional painting work is not only exposing workers to significant health and safety risks but also costly and labour-intensive. In addition, the working environment is not safe for the painter because mostly a painter work at a high level that can lead to fatal due to falling. This paper describes a better working environment for painting work by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can do the painting work in the construction industry. This project idea comes from a concept idea that emerges from a combination of two different technology which is Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Spray Painting. The spray painting using a UAV, expected will be suitable for industrial construction applications because of UAV can be variety of size especially at confine, narrow space, the height of building that gives limitation of space for the painter and importantly to avoid the need for scaffolding and ladders which is the safety of the painter at high-rise building due to fall is secure. This paper highlights the innovation idea of spray painting work using UAV.
