Norwegian developer of mobile robots for dirty and dangerous tasks, based in Sogndal, that collaborates with Hilti AG on construction robots.
nLink is a Norwegian robotics company that designs and develops mobile robots for practical problems, mainly taking over repetitive, dirty and dangerous tasks in difficult environments. According to CB Insights it was founded in 2012 and is based at Aroyveien 7 in Sogndal, in western Norway; its work combines concept development, software engineering, machine learning and mechanical design.
In construction, nLink is known for its collaboration with Hilti AG to bring robots onto building sites. Its website states that it is proud to collaborate with Hilti on this goal, and CB Insights lists Hilti among its investors through a corporate minority investment. Industry landscape sources credit nLink's ceiling-drilling robot technology as a basis for Hilti's Jaibot, the semi-autonomous drilling robot that marks and drills overhead holes for mechanical, electrical and plumbing installation directly from BIM data. Jaibot itself is sold and supported by Hilti.
nLink works with clients in three stages: a feasibility study, a prototype build, and deployment of the finished robotic concept. Its service lines are tailored robotic concepts for automating repetitive, dirty and dangerous tasks; cloud robotic software that keeps robot operations in sync with digitally planned and documented work; and automated visual inspection that digitises inspection and automates quality control in production. The company's stated view is that robots should carry out tasks that have been planned and documented digitally, which is the same principle behind BIM-driven drilling on construction sites.
