A robot that’s 99% reliable fails once in every hundred attempts. In practice, that’s a robot falling down the stairs about once a week. The value doesn’t show up until you reach 99.999%, and every one of those nines is bought the unglamorous way, deployment after deployment.

The construction industry has invested heavily in digital tools for more than a decade, yet walk any job site and the same problems persist. We’ve spent billions on technology, but still face rework, poor quality.

Welcome to the Raise Robotics blog, an open and honest conversation about robotic automation and its current and future impact on construction and other industries.
