Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Construction is on the cusp of transformation. Rising labor shortages, safety challenges, and cost pressures are propelling the integration of robotics into the field.
As automation evolves, robots are no longer confined to manufacturing floors – they’re becoming essential partners in building the future safely, efficiently, and sustainably. [Read more…] about Construction and demolition robots: Building the future
Bedrock Robotics, the company developing advanced autonomous systems for the $13 trillion global construction industry, emerged from stealth today with $80 million in Seed and Series A backing.
Rather than design and sell costly new machinery, Bedrock upgrades customers’ existing heavy equipment fleets with reversible, same-day hardware and software installs to enable fully autonomous operations.
With reindustrialization of the United States accelerating, Bedrock’s technology bridges the expanding gap between rapidly rising domestic infrastructure needs and shrinking workforce capacity. [Read more…] about Bedrock Robotics raises $80 million to commercialize its construction technology
If you’re running a business in a traditional industry, such as construction, retail, manufacturing, or agriculture, chances are, you’re struggling to keep up. However, keeping up is only challenging if you haven’t yet adopted smarter ways to manage your workforce.
According to a recent survey, high-performing CEOs who are successfully adopting new technology witness their companies grow faster and achieve higher annual revenue growth. [Read more…] about Scaling Traditional Industries with Smarter Workforce Management
In the world of construction and electrical work, precision is key. Getting an accurate electrical takeoff – calculating the materials and labor needed for a project – can be the difference between staying on budget and facing costly overruns.
Traditionally, this process involved hours of manual counting and calculating, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.
The technique is now quicker, more precise, and more effective thanks to the development of electrical takeoff software. [Read more…] about Maximizing ROI with AI in Electrical Takeoff
Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), or ASI Robots, an industrial vehicle automation specialist and developer of the Mobius autonomous fleet management system, has launched ASI Construction with SoftBank Group Corp.
ASI Construction is ASI’s new business unit, which focuses on automating construction equipment to address growing construction demand and a dwindling labor supply, alongside Agriculture, Logistics, and Landscaping.
Mel Torrie, ASI CEO, says: “ASI has been doing construction product development for 25+ years and counts John Deere, CNH, and other world leaders as its customers. [Read more…] about Autonomous Solutions Inc moves into construction sector with SoftBank backing
Terhoeven, also known as Hambi, has unveiled what it claims is “the world’s first fully automated line for reinforcing steel mesh”. The system utilizes drive and automation technology from Mitsubishi Electric.
The construction industry relies heavily on manual labor, particularly in tasks like cutting reinforcing steel mesh.
Terhoeven, a medium-sized mechanical engineering firm, says it has “revolutionized” this process with an innovative system that automates the cutting and stacking of reinforcing steel meshes. [Read more…] about Terhoeven unveils ‘world’s first’ fully automated line for reinforcing steel mesh
The construction industry, a cornerstone of economic development, stands on the cusp of a technological revolution. While sectors like manufacturing and logistics have long embraced automation, construction has traditionally been more reliant on manual labor.
However, the tide is turning. A new wave of innovation is bringing robotics to the forefront, promising to enhance efficiency, safety, and productivity on building sites.
While artistic interpretations of robots in architecture, like those seen at the Venice Architecture Biennale, spark the imagination, there is a sense of anticipation that the practical, real-world robotic systems now emerging could completely transform the construction sector.

Construction plays an important role in modern life. All man-made structures are the result of construction work. A vast majority of buildings, homes, towers, roads, and bridges are made of concrete and steel, plus some other materials added to bind them together.
But despite the intrinsic strength of both concrete and steel, the construction industry is still beset by numerous problems such as concrete cracking and high overall costs. To solve those issues, researchers have sought to develop construction innovations.
Among the most revolutionary innovations in building construction are energy efficient fabric structures. These are tensile materials used to wrap structural frameworks in lieu of concrete and wood. [Read more…] about 4 Innovative construction solutions in building engineering
