A coating system for applying a coating to a substrate that can be part of a wall assembly. The system includes a positioning stage and an end effector coupled at a distal end of the positioning stage, the end effector configured to apply coating to a target surface. The system can further include a computing device executing a computational planner that: generates instructions for driving the end effector and positioning stage to perform at least one coating task that includes applying coating, via the coating the end effector, to one or more substrate pieces, the generating based at least in part on obtained target surface data; and drives the end effector and positioning stage to perform the at least one coating task.

A method of generating a building assembly that includes spraying a coating material onto a plurality of pieces of substrate disposed on a first assembly face. The spraying includes spraying the coating material onto the plurality of pieces of substrate via a sprayer configured to apply the coating material to a target surface via a nozzle coupled with a mobile storage container storing the coating material, the coating material impregnating voids of the substrate. The method also includes allowing the coating material impregnating the voids to dry and harden and become rigid to generate the building assembly.

A sanitary washing device includes: a sprayer that jets a liquid to a surface of a toilet bowl portion of a toilet bowl; and a movable-type scattering suppression member that is movable between a closed position and an opened position and suppresses the liquid jetted from the sprayer from scattering to an upper surface side of the toilet bowl at the opened position.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of a system and method for operating a surface pressure washer with a wand component. The method may include the steps of cleaning a first surface through a first fluid path, where the first fluid path includes a pump, a pressure regulating valve, a diversion block, and a spray gun, while spray nozzles are not discharging fluid to a second surface, actuating a valve connected to the diversion block, thereby reducing the pressure available to the first fluid path and creating a second fluid path, where the second fluid path includes the pump, the pressure regulating valve, the diversion block and the spray nozzles, where the spray nozzles are configured to rotate above the second surface when the second fluid path is open, and cleaning a second surface underneath the pressure washer system through the second fluid path.
