Companies
- Randek · Falkenberg, Sweden · founded 1940
ZeroLabor robotic lines for wall panels, floor cassettes, and roof trusses. Prefab automation with eight decades of timber DNA.
- Automated Architecture · London, United Kingdom · founded 2015
Robotic micro-factories that manufacture modular timber housing close to the site - distributed making, not a distant plant.
- WASP · Massa Lombarda, Italy · founded 2012
Crane WASP prints houses from earth, clay, and agricultural waste. The TECLA habitats are the postcard. The printer is the point.
- ABB · Zurich, Switzerland · founded 1988
Industrial arms that have quietly become construction printers, prefab welders, and bricklayers. The muscle behind a lot of other logos.
- Inrotech · Odense, Denmark · founded 2000
Adaptive welding robots for heavy steel - ships, modules, and the prefab that construction borrows from yards.
- Terminailer · Greenfield, United States · founded 2014
Wall-panel subcomponent assembler from Construction Industry Innovations. One operator, six coil guns, no software stack - filmed here because it is a steel collar.
- Weinmann · St. Johann, Germany · founded 1980
HOMAG’s timber-frame lines. Wall, floor, and roof cassettes with robotic nailing, routing, and handling - the German plant most panel yards already know.
- Gropyus · Vienna, Austria · founded 2020
Robotic housing factories. Vienna-designed, German-built panels that assemble on site.
- Progress Group · Brixen, Italy · founded 1961
Precast automation - carousel plants, mesh welders, the Italian line that pours the panel.
- LimX Dynamics · Shenzhen, China · founded 2022
Nanshan humanoids on live decks. TRON 2 is the modular dual-arm platform ZINOVA put on formwork and rebar - a general-purpose torso doing trade work, not a kung-fu demo.
- Luminous Robotics · Boston, United States · founded 2023
LUMI S4 lays solar modules on the rack. Boston-built, already on Australian farms for Bouygues and ENGIE - the pick-and-place a crew used to do on their knees in the heat.
- Sitegeist · Munich, Germany · founded 2025
Modular AI robots for concrete renovation and selective removal on live structures - hydrodem and abrasive without a pre-built 3D model. Munich. €4M pre-seed Feb 2026.
- ULC Technologies · Hauppauge, United States · founded 2001
Panel Setting Robot and carrier siblings set PV modules with Rosendin on utility-scale yards. Hauppauge, New York. Field trials, not a lab clip.
- ConBotics · Berlin, Germany · founded 2020
MalerRoboter is a lightweight modular interior airless painter - rental and sale, TechnoMaler service. Berlin manufacturing. The coat a painter used to spray until the shoulders gave out.
- Doka · Amstetten, Austria · founded 1958
DokaXbot Lift remotely handles DokaXdek slab formwork panels so the crew is not muscling every deck panel. Amstetten. Bauma 2025 smart-construction press.
- ZoeRobot Technology · Dongguan, China · founded 2022
Campa-600 installs AAC/ALC wall panels remotely up to about 600 kg and 6 m. Dongguan / Shenzhen. LTA Singapore CR101 claims - Hong Kong Centre for Construction Robotics lineage.
- Relu Robotics · Beijing, China · founded 2021
Tracked PV install robots that grip, place, and fasten modules on utility-scale farms. Zhongguancun, Beijing. Claims 60–100 panels an hour across deserts and plateaus.
