Companies
- Advanced Construction Robotics · Pittsburgh, United States · founded 2013
TyBot ties rebar and IronBot places it. Built for bridge decks and heavy civil - the work crews least want to do by hand.
- Gecko Robotics · Pittsburgh, United States · founded 2013
Wall-climbing robots plus Cantilever AI for inspecting boilers, tanks, bridges, and the infrastructure that holds cities up.
- Toggle Robotics · New York, United States · founded 2018
Industrial robots pre-assemble rebar cages offsite for transit, bridges, and energy - then deliver them to the deck.
- Conjet · Österhaninge, Sweden · founded 1989
Hydrodemolition robots. High-pressure water instead of jackhammers - removing bad concrete without wrecking the steel.
- MX3D · Amsterdam, Netherlands · founded 2014
Multi-axis robotic metal printing. The stainless steel canal bridge in Amsterdam was the proof. Wire-arc additive manufacturing for structure.
- Aquajet · Halmstad, Sweden · founded 1988
Hydrodemolition robots. Aqua Cutter - high-pressure water on bridges and decks, jackhammers stay in the truck.
- Hammelmann · Oelde, Germany · founded 1949
JETMASTER is a radio-controlled UHP hydrodemolition and surface-prep robot. Oelde. German bridge rehab cases on the books.
- Inteco Robotics · Zagreb, Croatia · founded 2004
R Jet series runs autonomous high-pressure water on concrete and steel - hydrodem and surface prep without a jackhammer crew on the wall. Zagreb. Special-construction pedigree claimed across two decades.
- International Climbing Machines · Ithaca, United States · founded 2001
Vacuum-held climbing robots for dams, bridges, tanks, and towers - NDT, hydroblast, and coating payloads. Ithaca, NY. The rope-access crawl a inspector used to hang for.
