Rugged Robotics

We are excited to share that Rugged Robotics has been named as one of BuiltWorlds' Top 50 Robotics Companies for 2024! This honor is a testament to the determination and innovation of our team. Thank you BuiltWorlds for the recognition and special thanks to our partners, customers and supporters.

Working with Suffolk Construction on this project in Los Angeles has been an absolute dream. When we talk to our customers about what's needed for automated layout to be a resounding success, we basically say exactly what Enoch Chow, RA, NCARB, Jorge Ruiz, and their team have done on this project. What are those things? ✅ Performed a high quality scan of existing conditions ✅ Adjusted the design model to align to the scan ✅ Created a detailed, multi-trade coordinated model that matched the contract documents ✅ Provided surveyed control aligned to the scan and model ✅ Adequately scheduled for automated layout to occur when site conditions were optimal, allowing for ~1-day per floor multi-trade layout Checking all of these boxes has allowed our team to print highly accurate multi-trade layout with incredible detail at lightning speed, unlocking huge schedule savings and accelerating the project. It's been a privilege to be partnered with such a high-caliber team! We have unleashed the power of automated layout!

When we designed our Mark 1 robot, one of the top requirements was that it was "travel-ready" and could hop on the next plane as checked luggage, catch the next delivery van, or get dragged on a light jog for 16 blocks through New York to Penn Station (don't ask). But, just because we designed it like that doesn't mean we trust ourselves - every time we build or calibrate one of our robots, our engineering team gets to have a bit of fun certifying that it's truly job-ready.

Always rewarding just watching it hit that line.

Feldman Geospatial is once again showcasing its cutting-edge field printing technology this week, collaborating with Commodore Builders to precisely lay out architecturally exposed steel on a renowned Boston high-rise. The Rugged Robotics #Mark 1 is particularly suited for this intricate, sweeping, curved design. #Fieldprinting for layout is becoming increasingly popular due to several significant advantages: 1️⃣ Time Savings: This method greatly reduces the time required for complex layouts, including curves, point arrays, and detailed labeling. 2️⃣ Multi-trade Coordination: Field printing allows for simultaneous multi-trade layout, enhancing productivity and cost efficiency. 3️⃣ Worker Health: Perhaps the most underrated benefit is the positive impact on worker health. By enabling trade professionals to focus on installation rather than labor-intensive tasks like snapping chalk lines on their knees, field printing helps improve worker comfort and longevity on the job site. All field printers require accurate survey control, and this is where Feldman Geospatial excels -- by providing end-to-end layout and control. By leveraging our construction engineering expertise and integrating innovative technology like Rugged Robotics, we are transforming the layout process. Our precise survey control ensures that every aspect of the field printing is accurate and reliable, setting a new standard in the industry. Niall Curry Michael Mann

Excited to see Feldman Geospatial using one of our Mark1 robots to knock it out of the park on a recent project with Shawmut. While it's always a bit stressful turning over the keys to someone else, it's a lot easier when it's to the team at Feldman.

Suffolk Technologies’ connection to Suffolk Construction unlocked a network of deep, specialized expertise, and a broad portfolio of projects that served as the perfect proving ground for Rugged. We’re thrilled to continue this growing partnership and excited for what the future holds!

Curved and radiused lines? No sweat. Mark1 is ready to roll. 📐💪 With <1/8” accuracy and holonomic driving dynamics ideal for curves and rounded elements, our Mark1 layout robots are capable of printing even the most intricate and unique designs directly on the slab—making curved walls, soffits, or floor finishes a snap. Specialty layout has never gone faster. 🤖 Learn more about what Rugged can do for your next project: https://lnkd.in/gpu56pmV  #TeamRugged #RuggedReadyForEverything

One of our operators recently captured this shot of night ops on a jobsite. With no Total Station required, our robots just keep churning through your floorplan with minimal intervention, day or night.

Next week, Houston is on track to have its first 90 degree day of the year. While winter projects in New England can be extremely challenging, the prospect of a Houston summer arriving can definitely cause some "grass is always greener" thoughts...
