## Common questions

### What is TyBOT?

Advanced Construction Robotics (Pittsburgh area, Pennsylvania) makes TyBOT, an autonomous rebar-tying robot, and IronBOT, a rebar-placement and lifting robot. Both are gantry-mounted systems used on bridge decks and infrastructure projects. TyBOT has tied rebar on multiple state Department of Transportation bridge projects under a rented-and-operated model and is recorded at commercial maturity; IronBOT, which handles heavier rebar placement and lifting, is at an earlier deployment stage. Aggregate figures such as total ties placed or the number of DOT projects appear in trade coverage but vary, so they are treated as stated rather than independently verified.

### Who makes TyBOT?

TyBOT is made by Advanced Construction Robotics, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, founded in 2016.

### Where is TyBOT deployed?

No verified deployments of TyBOT are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is TyBOT's maturity stage?

TyBOT is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
