A remote spray foam system for polyurethane insulation foam, comprising:
- a mobile mast platform;
- a mast mounted to the mobile mast platform, the mast extendable and retractable with respect to the mobile mast platform;
- a robot platform removably mounted to the mast;
- a remote manipulator mounted to the robot platform;
- a spray gun;
- wherein said spray gun is a hand-held spray gun operable to spray the polyurethane insulation foam, the spray gun removably mountable to the remote manipulator;
- a control system in communication with the remote manipulator to position and operate the spray gun,
- a control interface in communication with the control system, the control interface operable to receive a user input to remotely control the mobile mast platform, the mast, and the remote manipulator to position and operate the spray gun;
- and
- a first effector mounted to the remote manipulator adjacent to a trigger of the spray gun to operate the spray gun to spray polyurethane insulation foam.
