Deployment

Mark1 at Boston

Rugged Robotics (Houston, Texas) makes the Mark1, an autonomous mobile robot that prints multi-trade building-layout markings from a BIM model directly onto concrete floors, automating the manual layout step that crews otherwise do by hand. It addresses the same problem space as Dusty Robotics' FieldPrinter but is at an earlier stage: the registry records it at pilot maturity, deployed in pilots with general contractors rather than at general commercial availability.

A funding correction worth recording: the originating dispatch stated more than $25 million raised, but the verified figure is roughly $12 million total, anchored by a $9.4 million Series A in 2022.
