Hilti in North America has launched an overhead drilling robot for M&E, plumbing and fit-out work.
Named Jaibot, it is cordless and can work for up to eight hours between charges and has a built-in dust removal system. The maximum height it can reach is 5 metres.
Jaibot takes its instructions straight from data that is uploaded to the Hilti cloud from Autocad or Revit; Jaibot then marks and drills holes within its range autonomously according to the digital drilling plan – the location, hole depth and diameter are defined by the drilling plan, culminating in fewer errors, greater accuracy and cleaner holes, Hilti claims.
