Hilti has introduced its first robot, Jaibot, for semi-autonomous mobile ceiling drilling. The Hilti Jaibot construction robot will help mechanical, electrical and plumbing installation contractors tackle productivity, safety and labor shortage challenges. It is cordless and easy-to-use, and doesn’t require expert skills.
The Jaibot executes its tasks based on BIM data. It locates itself accurately indoors, drills the holes dust-controlled and marks them according to the trade. BIM-enabled robotic solutions also make the construction process more transparent with improved execution speed, constant performance and fewer errors. Daily progress can be reported from the field to the project office via cloud computing. Potential conflicts between the trades involved on a jobsite also can be detected at an early stage and then limited, resulting in more projects delivered on-time and within budget. It is navigated by the worker via remote control, using reference data from a robotic total station, the Hilti PLT 300. Holes within reach are drilled automatically.
