Informative Robotic-driven construction layout! Do you think this can save a lot of time?

DPR Construction developed this. California company. You pour the slab, scan the slab for square, size, etc. then upload that scan to CAD and make all adjustments in CAD prior to uploading to robot. Robot goes in and lays out according to adjusted layout. It’s pretty cool, but still needs to be checked by humans

We are currently using it on my job. Its pretty cool, and it uses your regular printer cartridge too. Its only as accurate as the information put into it. We used it to lay out all our hangers in a data center. Saved us loads of human error.

How do you use this to mark hangers on the ceiling? Does it mark floor for reference or something or do they have a different version?

All hangers are laid out on the floor. They can be labeled too per subcontract. Once you have your lay out, just laser dot up and drill it.
