The verified answer

As of Sep 2026, DEPLOY verifies Jaibot, a construction by Hilti (commercial): 1 verified deployment on record. 5 sources back the record.

Overview

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.

Notes

Verified: Hilti (Schaan, Liechtenstein; large established construction-tools group) makes the Jaibot, a semi-autonomous mobile construction robot that drills overhead/ceiling holes from a BIM model for MEP (mechanical/electrical/plumbing) installation. Deployed with contractors; maturity=commercial. Hilti is a major incumbent extending into jobsite robotics, distinct from the startups in this category., Scale note: Unit/project counts (e.g. tens of units across 100+ projects) appear in trade coverage but vary; treat specific counts as stated. The commercial maturity is well-supported by Hilti's productized sale/rental model.
