* Tasks that require a broomstick are often tedious, located in narrow spaces, or requiring frequent repetition. The fact that we have attached an item to a broomstick indicates right away that the human arm is not sufficient to do a job easily.

* The most expensive part of a ship is the maintenance, which relies on continuous painting to prevent corrosion

* Every crew member of a ship is costly, so docking the ships may be required to dock for painting.

* Discovery of rust & deteriorated paint may be more important than applying paint.

31
* It is tedious to search a whole ship for rust so currently there is no affordable solution.

* Remote communication is unreliable on the sea, so remote expertise cannot help very much with identifying rust, etc.

* A robot painter could make continuous scanning for rust, 24 hours per day, reducing docking time for the ship.

* The robot painter can utilize edge AI to take photos and evaluate paint

* While automation is still expensive, only high-cost problems are feasible and this is a high-cost problem.
