Obayashi Corporation 大林组
Major Japanese general contractor pioneering construction robotics, autonomous equipment, and smart building technologies.
Obayashi Corporation is one of Japan's largest general contractors, founded in 1892 in Osaka and headquartered in Tokyo. The company operates across civil engineering, building construction, and real estate, with annual sales exceeding JPY 2.6 trillion and over 17,000 employees. Obayashi has established a dedicated robotics initiative deploying autonomous mobile robots (AMR/AGV) and AI-powered systems on construction sites to address labor shortages and improve safety.
In 2022 it spun off PLiBOT Inc. to commercialize its integrated autonomous material transportation platform that coordinates AGVs with construction elevators. The company also employs drone inspection and AI image recognition for construction progress monitoring. Obayashi operates in 19 countries and maintains an overseas R&D hub — Obayashi Construction-Tech Lab Singapore — focused on construction robotics for the Asian market.
