Kevin Albert is the Founder and CEO of Canvas, the world's first robotic drywall finishing company. A mechanical engineer with roots at Boston Dynamics - where he contributed to the legendary BigDog and LS3 quadruped robots - Kevin built Canvas to bring heavy-machinery-grade precision to the interior of buildings for the first time. With over 20 years of rugged robotics experience spanning Draper Lab, Otherlab, and his own inflatable-robot startup Pneubotics, he channeled a career's worth of know-how into solving one of construction's most stubborn productivity problems: drywall finishing hasn't changed in decades, and with two workers retiring for every one who enters the trades, Canvas's robots are becoming the industry's answer.
