Philipp Herget and the Fine Art of Drawing the Future on Concrete
He began by controlling lasers within nanometers. Now his robots print buildings at full scale. Philipp Herget's career is a study in precision, practical pivots and knowing when the floor is trying to tell you something.
Dusty Robotics
Dusty Robotics builds the FieldPrinter, an autonomous mobile robot that prints full-scale building layouts directly onto construction floors from BIM models. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, it replaces a painstaking, error-prone manual chalk-and-tape process used by general contractors to mark where every wall, conduit, and bolt must land.
