The development of the board placing robot for interior finishing works is described. The featured concept is entirely new and the structure of the system is almost different from the former board installation robots. The robot is developed as a personal use one for a board installation worker and the robot coexists with a worker in the same work place. To obtain the security between the robot and worker, the compliant pneumatic actuator system has been applied. The robot is designed compactly and also a new telescopic configuration can cover wide work area from a wall to ceiling. The simplified structure of the system can cut the time of preparation and realize to put it into practical use. In this paper the structure of the system and the results of the practical tests are described.
