The first step in this paper is towards developing a fully functional wall painting robot for external wall painting is taken. Design considerations based on previous research work are employed to conceptually design the most suitable robot structure capable of external wall painting specifically for high-rise building. The aim of this study is to develop an Innovative Drone for external wall painting specifically for high-rise building. There are a few objectives that need to achieve in this innovation project research which is to create an Innovative Drone for external wall painting design ideas. The second objective is to assemble the 3D modelling from improvise the design of Innovative Drone for external wall painting. Lastly, to suggest the marketability potential of Innovative Drone for external wall painting. Innovative Drone is a product that can reduce the problem on wall painting work and to reduce to exposes workers from danger due to the chemicals in paints which can cause eye irritations, asthma, and other negative side effects. The data was collected through secondary data, design thinking, product 3D modelling by using a SketchUp software. This innovation project focus on the improvement that made the painting process smooth and easy to operate which only require a minimum worker to operate and monitor the robot. Due to the limitations of time, cost and materials, there was no performance test conducted to test the performance of the innovation product. This innovation coincides with Sustainable Development Goal 9 which seeks to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation.
