🏗️ Robot That Draws Floor Plans With Laser Precision 🏗️ Quick Take: Imagine skipping the tape measures and chalk lines — this next-gen machine uses lasers and automation to draw full-scale floor plans directly on-site. It’s faster, more accurate, and drastically cuts down layout errors before construction even begins. A true example of how AI + robotics are transforming job sites into precision-driven work zones. ⚙️✨ 🟪 What Do You Think? 🟪 🤖 Could this replace manual layout marking entirely? ⏱️ How much time do you think it saves compared to traditional crews? 🏗️ Would you trust a robot to mark your project’s foundation? #construction #commercialconstruction #generalcontractor #skilledtrades #industrialcraft #aec ✅ Follow for more groundbreaking construction tech & real-world innovation! ✅

💡 Tidbit Thursday: The Robot That Changed My Perspective Nearly three years ago, I went on a site visit to one of our Granger Construction healthcare projects. While walking through the bare, concrete space, I noticed someone holding what looked like a video game controller, supervising a robot that was drawing chalk lines where future walls would stand. That was a “whoa, commercial construction is really cool” moment. And it was just the tip of the iceberg. I later learned this was an autonomous layout robot—and they are changing the game. These machines take digital building models and mark exactly where walls, pipes, and systems should go, directly on the jobsite floor. No tape measures. No guesswork. Just clean, consistent layout that every trade can build from. Here’s why it matters: ✅ Faster execution – What once took hours now takes minutes ✅ Fewer errors – Precision reduces rework and miscommunication ✅ Better coordination – Everyone builds from the same digital plan ✅ Safer workflows – Less time spent bending, measuring, and rechecking It’s one thing to read about innovation. It’s another to see it in action. . . Have you seen this tech on a jobsite? Would you trust a robot to handle layout? Let’s talk about it. 👇 #TidbitThursday #ConstructionInnovation #FieldTech #LayoutRobot #DigitalConstruction #CommercialConstruction #ConstructionIsCool

Our team spotted this guy at the Procore Technologies Groundbreak Conference, and the future of construction technology is looking pretty impressive. This ground robotic solution represents the next step in how we can capture and analyze job site data. It's capable of performing full site walks, tracking progress, capturing OpenSpace documentation, and so much more. This robot can be scheduled to work overnight, so progress updates are ready before the day even begins. As innovation continues to transform our industry, advancements like this help construction teams save time, enhance accuracy, and make data-driven decisions fast. #RoboticConstruction #Procore #Technology #Hourigan #GBK25

🚀 Our new preprint “Building granular structures with elasto-active systems” is on arXiv. 🎯 What we did: We connected rigid microbots (hexbugs) to elastic beams, creating “elasto-active” agents that can reshape and reorganize packed granular environments. Whether dispersed or dense, they adapt: At low densities, they compact obstacles into clusters, modelled via a modified Smoluchowski coagulation theory. At high densities, they carve out voids, with void size predicted by force-limited arguments. 🌍 Why it matters: This work moves beyond rigid, sensor-driven agents and leans into soft, deformable active matter, expanding our understanding of how activity + elasticity + crowding interplay in dynamic environments.  🔍 If you’re into soft robotics, swarm systems, granular materials, or active matter — there’s something here for you. We aim to open up new paths for designing adaptable materials and robotic systems. 👉 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/e4EED-yN #SoftRobotics #ActiveMatter #GranularPhysics #SwarmEngineering #MaterialsScience
