Japanese general contractor founded 1873, deploying the T-iROBO autonomous robot series to automate hazardous and repetitive construction tasks.
Taisei Corporation is one of Japan's largest general contractors, founded in 1873 and headquartered in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. The company operates across building construction, civil engineering, real estate development, and environmental engineering. Taisei has a dedicated Advanced Center of Technology and maintains one of the largest construction R&D budgets in Japan, with approximately ¥30 billion committed to new technologies including robotics, AI, and digital twins.
Its proprietary T-iROBO robot platform encompasses multiple specialized systems: the T-iROBO Slab Finisher autonomously performs concrete floor grouting and leveling; T-iROBO Rebar handles automated rebar-tying operations; and the T-iROBO Remote Viewer provides HMD-based remote imaging for hazardous zone monitoring. These systems are deployed to address Japan's construction labor shortage and aging workforce, reducing onsite incidents and improving cycle times. Taisei has also applied modular prefabrication and digital construction methods to reduce tunneling cycle times by 15–25% in pilot projects.
The company serves infrastructure, transportation, real estate, and industrial clients across Japan and internationally, including projects in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
Autonomous robot for concrete floor grouting and leveling on construction sites.
Automated rebar-tying robot for construction site reinforcement work.
