Didge on display at the Construction Robotics Summit put on by Contech Alliance and New York Robotics Network

Showcasing the Future of Construction with Robotic and AI Solutions

"No longer just for early adopters and pilot projects, robots on jobsites are becoming a reliable way to take on some of the most repetitive and demanding tasks"

"“The increasing emphasis on reducing resource wastage and overall costs is expected to drive the construction robot market down the road. Skanska is using two autonomous robots from Boston-based Nextera Robotics to build a 31 -story residential tower in Seattle. This technology provides high-resolution, 360-degree photographic images, helping Skanska monitor everything from lighting conditions and fall hazards to PPE and fire safety.“"

“The construction industry is finding new uses for Artificial Intelligence. In a multi-story building project in the northwestern U.S. city of Seattle, autonomous robots are tasked with documenting progress and detecting potential hazards”

“Skanska is using robots from Nextera Robotics to provide high-resolution, 360-degree photographic images so that Skanska’s development team can keep “near-constant eyes on a project site".

Check out some of the cool places Didge has been “site-seeing”

Every jobsite Didge goes to the project teams are excited to welcome their new friend. Some give names, some give them a mouth and eyes, some just want a picture with their new buddy.

Through several years of research and development efforts - Nextera has found success in designing a mobile robotics system capable of autonomously navigating any job site.

“Gilbane Inc., based in Providence, has recently benefited from extra ‘brains’ and ‘eyes’ at some of its construction sites – but not the human kind.”
