## Common questions

### What is Mark1?

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.

### Who makes Mark1?

Mark1 is made by Rugged Robotics, based in Houston, Texas, USA, founded in 2018.

### Where is Mark1 deployed?

No verified deployments of Mark1 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 Mark1's maturity stage?

Mark1 is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.
