Leveraging robotics for construction applications


About the client:

Having taken note of the recent surge in robotics technologies that build structures out of concrete blocks, the client, a major building materials supplier in North America, wanted to assess the impact of robotics technologies for construction applications on their business. 

Challenge:

In this research support service pilot, the client engaged PreScouter to shed light on companies providing technology around robotic construction, the penetration/adoption rate of these technologies, issues, and IP information.

Approach:

PreScouter created a landscape of relevant companies, technologies, and potential partners leveraging robotics and automation technologies to build homes from concrete blocks. PreScouter also interviewed 4 subject matter experts, including 3 founders of some of the most innovative companies offering construction robotics technologies to identify targets and highlight key advancements in this space. For each identified target PreScouter highlighted:

  • Company size, key technology partners, and customers
  • Relevant IP owned by the organization
  • Description of the system and its key functionalities
  • Technology readiness level assessment of technology
  • Key differentiators

Outcome:

PreScouter created a forecast for the penetration rate of robotics technologies in the construction industry and highlighted new requirements for building materials. Potential partners were also presented to the client.
