Abstract
An automated gypsum board installation machine is a device for automatically positioning, installing, and fastening gypsum boards. The device includes a first extendable support member and a second extendable support member as well as a board-fastening assembly that is slidably engaged in between. A quantity of gypsum boards is held within a board-containing receptacle and a gypsum board may be moved into position by at least one adjustable board-retaining device. Once the gypsum board is positioned, at least one fastener-installing device is able to secure the gypsum board in place via fasteners. The at least one fastener-installing device is mechanically coupled to at least one fastener receptacle. The device may be controlled automatically or manually via a control unit and a wireless receiver.
