RSF defines a common language for robot service capability, lifecycle operations, certification pathways, and service-provider networks.
Discover the ultimate directory of global robotics events in 2026. Tailored briefings for engineers, investors, and founders on humanoid robots, AI, and industrial automation by RobotToday.
Construction robotics is entering its decisive decade. Autonomous jobsites, swarm coordination, humanoid integration, and a potential $60 billion market reshape every strategic decision in the industry.
RobotToday Weekly covers the week's top robotics developments: Meta acquires humanoid robotics startup ARI, Genesis AI unveils GENE-26.5 foundation model, Hugging Face launches Reachy Mini robot app store, and 1X begins NEO humanoid production in California. Plus SoftBank's $100B robotics spinoff plans, $200M+ funding for humanoid robots, and 20 curated product launches across foundation models, robotaxi, surgical robotics, drone policy, and more. Curated for industry executives, investors, and robotics engineers.
Modular, prefab, and 3D printing are moving construction off-site. ICON's Phoenix printer targets multi-story builds. PERI-COBOD's DREIHAUS delivered 30% faster and 10% cheaper in Germany. WinSun re-enters the US as Gaudi Tech. The paradigm shift is accelerating.
Demolition and hazardous-work robots are construction automation's fastest-growing safety segment. This analysis covers Brokk SmartPower+, Husqvarna DXR, AI-guided asbestos removal, confined-space inspection drones, and regional adoption across Japan, the EU, and South Korea — with market sizing, technology assessment, and a 2030 outlook.
Rebar binding robots cut labor 70%. Concrete finishing robots grow at 17% CAGR. Deep-dive on TyBOT/IronBOT, Hilti Jaibot, Shimizu Smart Site, and China's XCMG. Why structural automation delivers the fastest payback in high-rise markets.
Construction faces an $11.4 trillion market crisis. Labor shortfalls, a $1.6 trillion productivity gap, and demographic collapse create the automation inflection point of the decade.
Construction robots can lay 6× more bricks than humans—but unions, labor law, and political calculus are keeping them off U.S. sites. How Japan, Singapore, and Europe are winning the race instead.
Why mobile machining still struggles with stiffness, accuracy, and autonomy—and how hybrid robots, AI perception, and digital twins will drive breakthroughs over the next five years.
Ceramic ball screws offer high stiffness and low wear, making them promising components for the next generation of robots with dexterous, reliable manipulation.
