Deployment

Jaibot at European Union

Hilti (Schaan, Liechtenstein), a large established construction-tools and software group, makes the Jaibot, a semi-autonomous mobile construction robot that marks and drills overhead ceiling holes directly from a BIM model for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation, reducing the strain of overhead drilling on workers. It is deployed with contractors under Hilti's productized sale and rental model and is recorded at commercial maturity.

Hilti is notable in this category as a major incumbent tools manufacturer extending into jobsite robotics, distinct from the venture-backed startups that make up most of the construction-robotics field. Specific unit and project counts appear in trade coverage but vary, so they are treated as stated rather than independently verified.
