Robotic layout printing for construction projects

About Rugged Robotics

Rugged Robotics combines construction and robotics to solve challenges faced by construction teams. They have created a robotic system that prints detailed, life-size layouts directly onto concrete floors. This system works by taking digital design data from CAD models and using it to guide the robot in marking precise layouts on the ground. This process helps construction companies complete their projects more quickly and accurately. Unlike other companies, Rugged Robotics focuses specifically on providing a complete layout service, which allows them to generate revenue through the use of their robotic systems on construction sites. Their goal is to improve efficiency and precision in construction projects.
