A paint robot having a sprayer that is substantially fixed in an orientation in which the spray fan is perpendicular to the wall surface may be ineffective at painting portions of a wall that are not substantially flat (e.g., flat). These portions may include one or more protrusions and/or recesses such as, for example: (1) a chair rail or other suitable piece of molding; (2) one or more window ledges and/or sills; (3) one or more exit signs; (4) one or more thermostats; (5) etc. As such, it may be desirable to incorporate an articulating spray head (e.g., a pivoting sprayer) into an automated mobile painting system in order to, for example, paint the upper and lower portions of the wall by angling the paint sprayer to paint over and/or under the various protrusions which may exist on the wall as discussed above.
