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.
