Opinion: Are humanoid robots coming soon to the construction industry?

May 16, 2025 by Mai Tao

By Mateo Zimmerman, investment manager at Cemex Ventures

The construction industry is no stranger to automation. Task-specific robots – like bricklaying machines, autonomous vehicles, and plastering systems – have long improved safety and efficiency by handling repetitive tasks in structured environments.

Humanoid robots, by contrast, are designed to replicate human motion and behavior, making them better suited for general-purpose roles. With major tech players like Google and Meta investing in this next frontier, the question is how soon humanlike robots will join crews on job sites.

The potential is real, but so are the challenges. Construction sites are unpredictable, and humanoid robots must prove they can adapt to dynamic conditions at a viable cost. These machines will also need to integrate with existing workflows, justify their expense, and gain buy-in from workers, unions, and insurers.

Ati Motors to showcase latest autonomous mobile robots at Automate event

April 17, 2025 by Mark Allinson

Ati Motors is set to showcase a range of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at Automate 2025, taking place May 12-15 in Detroit.

The company will demonstrate four models at booth #1823, including a US debut and a product launch.

Headlining the lineup is the Sherpa Pallet Mover, a robust AMR capable of autonomously lifting and transporting up to 1 ton (1,000 kg).

Though an established product in global markets, it will be making its first appearance in the US. [Read more…] about Ati Motors to showcase latest autonomous mobile robots at Automate event

Universal Robots helps rock band OK Go sync 30 robots in music video

April 17, 2025 by Mark Allinson

Collaborative robot arms take center stage in the Grammy Award-winning band’s latest visual creation

OK Go, the American rock band known for its wildly imaginative music videos, has once again pushed the boundaries of art and engineering – this time with the help of Universal Robots. (See video below.) 

In the music video for their latest single from the 2023 album Love, the band enlisted 30 robotic arms to create a visual symphony that merges choreography, automation, and musical performance.

The robots – UR10e collaborative robot arms – are typically found in manufacturing environments, performing tasks like packaging or assembly. [Read more…] about Universal Robots helps rock band OK Go sync 30 robots in music video

Xaba raises $6 million to build ‘synthetic brains’ for industrial robots

April 17, 2025 by Mark Allinson

Xaba, a startup which says it is building “synthetic brains for industrial robots with zero code”, has secured a $6 million seed extension to accelerate the deployment of AI-powered robotics and cognitive industrial control systems.

The round was led by Hitachi Ventures with participation from Hazelview Ventures, BDC Capital, Exposition Ventures, and Impact Venture Capital.

Industrial automation today remains highly inefficient, relying on outdated controllers, rigid programming, and extensive manual intervention. [Read more…] about Xaba raises $6 million to build ‘synthetic brains’ for industrial robots
