Dusty Robotics

Automated layout solutions that can't lay out the framing around your MEP stub-ups aren't actually solutions. That's where you need accurate, complete layout the most. When you're ready for #RealWorldLayout for real-life jobsites, get Dusty. #FieldPrinter2 #FramingLayout #WallsAndCeilings #AutomatedLayout #RobotsInConstruction

This week, our team will be collaborating with Tolles Career and Technical Center and Double L Engineering to conduct hands-on demonstrations for student in the Construction Technologies program. To kick things off, we started with a presentation on Dusty Robotics. We were thrilled to provide these students with an up-close look at emerging technologies, particularly automated layout. Dusty laid out the building demonstration that we will guide the students through this week. We will continue to share the students' progress as the week unfolds! #morethanbuildings #acpohio #buildingthefuture

7000+ people listened to my story at #ICRA2025, packing into the auditorium and listening intently. The energy at the conference was fantastic. This conference felt like AI conferences in the early days. It feels like a Cambrian explosion of robot platforms, parts, and students. And a sizable number of those students want to start their own robotics company. In my talk, I emphasized the WHY of robotics. I founded a company because I want to change the world, not just build cool sh*t. I encourage every aspiring robotics founder to find the problem first, the one that keeps you up at night wanting to solve. Don't start with the technology. Robots are a tool to solve a problem, not the end goal. Once you find the right problem, success follows. To all those who would build robotics companies, I encourage you to focus on your WHY. Focus on the problem you're solving, and for who. Figure out your business case. And then go forth and build successful companies. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

At ENR FutureTech, one theme rang loud and clear: robotics in construction aren’t “the future”—they’re the present. Here’s what sets Dusty apart in this new era of automation: 🔹 Bridging digital and physical. VDC is great, but doesn't help anybody if the information stays in the model. Dusty prints the model directly onto the floor, helping field teams build with confidence and clarity. 🔹 Jobsite-ready. Construction jobsites are unpredictable, chaotic, and full of blindspots—literally. FieldPrinter 2 is built to navigate real-world jobsites and still get the job done. It's used every day on hundreds of active jobsites across North America. As AI and automation become more embedded in construction workflows, the companies making a real impact will be the ones solving practical problems at scale. That’s where we fit in. 📖 Read the full ENR recap: https://lnkd.in/gXyHQs8Y #ConstructionTech #RobotsinConstruction #ENRFutureTech #AutomatedLayout #RealWorldLayout #FileToField Engineering News-Record

Control is everything. If your layout isn’t anchored to accurate control points, you’re building on a shaky foundation. #FieldPrinter2 prints exactly what’s in your model, to 1/16" accuracy. It doesn’t “fudge” things to make them fit. Instead, you align your digital layout to the physical jobsite by setting control—before a single line hits the slab. But how do you actually set control points? Turns out, there’s more than one way—and the method you pick affects your risk, accuracy, and field workflow. We broke it down: 📐 What is control? 📏 Why does it matter? 🔧 How do different layout methods stack up? 👉 Read the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/gdXzyyCm #LayoutControl #ConstructionControl #AutomatedLayout #LayoutMethods #RobotsInConstruction #FileToField

"Layout is communication." Scott Yohe from Dale Construction, LLC nailed it on stage with Jon Yochum at the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA) Construction Technology Expo. He shared how Dale leveled up their layout workflow—embracing Dusty's automated layout to help their field crews build faster and better. Why focus on layout? Because it’s how you communicate what to build, where, and when. And Dusty delivers that communication with more speed, accuracy, and completeness than any manual method—translating your BIM model into full-scale layout, printed right on the floor. Fewer errors. Less rework. Field teams with total clarity. ▶️ Read Dale’s full story (link in comments). #ConstructionTech #AutomatedLayout #FieldPrinter2 #FieldExecution #GBCAExpo #ConTechExpo

"It would be crazy not to use Dusty. Dusty enables me to help the entire team building a house do a better, faster job." That's Josh Lewis, COO of FrameTec. FrameTec is a pioneering manufacturing and framing services provider who are revolutionizing Type V construction. Dusty and multi-trade, automated layout are central to their approach. "Rework will be a thing of the past as we continue to leverage this multi-trade layout approach and integrated system," says Dave Everson, President of Mandalay Homes and a key FrameTec client. But FrameTec are doing more with Dusty than laying out projects fast and accurate. They're transforming the way the community of GCs and trades they partner with work together. "Dusty identifies problems before they’re constructed and eliminates finger pointing," says Kyle Brock, PE, CEO of FrameTec 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gCE9EUVQ #FutureOfConstruction #TypeVConstruction #Framing #FileToField #AutomatedLayout #MultiTradeLayout #FieldPrinter2

Does the floor have to be clean for #FieldPrinter2 to print your layout? About as clean as your teenager's room. #RealWorldLayout #RobotsInConstruction #AutomatedLayout #FileToField
