Companies
- Raise Robotics · San Francisco, United States · founded 2018
Multipurpose platform for high-risk install work - curtainwall brackets, overhead drilling, facade layout on high-rises.
- nLink · Oslo, Norway · founded 2016
Autonomous ceiling drilling. The robot marks and drills thousands of holes from BIM so electricians stop looking up all day.
- Hilti · Schaan, Liechtenstein · founded 1941
Jaibot is a semi-autonomous ceiling drilling robot that executes BIM-coordinated overhead work with dust extraction built in.
- Mechasys · Montreal, Canada · founded 2018
Robotic layout and installation for MEP - hangers, sleeves, and overhead components placed from coordinated BIM.
- Baubot · Vienna, Austria · founded 2018
Fischer Group’s mobile construction robot. Drills, marks, measures, and installs from the digital plan - including inside tunnels.
- CSC Robotics · Hong Kong, Hong Kong · founded 2019
Autonomous ceiling and wall drilling from BIM. Hangers and sleeves on Asian high-rises without a week of layout.
- Xpanner · Santa Fe Springs, United States · founded 2019
Korean-founded, California-based autonomous excavation. Terrain modeling and machine control for civil cuts.
- Ekso Bionics · San Rafael, United States · founded 2005
Ekso EVO upper-body exo for overhead work. Arms stay up. Shoulders last the shift.
- Hundegger · Hawangen, Germany · founded 1970
CNC timber machines that cut, drill, and mill the member before it hits the jig. The German plant most truss yards already envy.
- Epiroc · Stockholm, Sweden · founded 2018
Autonomous drill rigs and underground loaders. Mining construction, not a press-demo arm.
