Making its U.S. debut at the 2020 World of Concrete show, TyBot has had a busy year working on bridge projects throughout the U.S. The concrete rebar tying robot just tied its 2 millionth job tie.
“We’re not a prototype or a science experiment or a university study,” says Jeremy Searock, co-founder and president of TyBot's maker, Advanced Construction Robots. “TyBot is a product that’s doing real work.”
But before we go into what TyBot does, let’s first look at what it is. TyBot is an autonomous robotic rebar-tying system, the first in ACR’s envisioned line of autonomous robotic equipment.
Once TyBot is set up on a jobsite, a technician gives it a few inputs through a small remote-control panel, and then it goes to work, completely autonomously, using robotics and artificial intelligence.
