Embodied AI Reshaping Construction — Driving intelligent upgrading with new quality productivity
Embodied AI · Intelligent Construction · New Quality Productivity
Built on embodied AI as the technology foundation, we create an intelligent robot product matrix for all construction scenarios. Each robot possesses a complete capability loop of perception-understanding-decision-execution, truly adapting to the complex and ever-changing unstructured construction site environment.
2026 marks the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. The CPC Central Committee's proposal explicitly includes embodied AI as a core direction for new economic growth. The 2026 Government Work Report further emphasizes developing intelligent construction and cultivating modern construction industry chains.
Galaxy Securities predicts the embodied AI industry will exceed one trillion yuan in 2026. CCID Consulting projects China's robot industry will reach 400 billion yuan by 2030. At the convergence of policy, technology, and market forces, construction embodied AI is entering its best window for industrialization.
China's construction industry generates over 30 trillion yuan annually, yet faces unprecedented challenges — labor shortages, high safety risks, rough quality control, and low digitalization. As the demographic dividend fades, the industry urgently needs technological innovation to achieve the historic leap from labor-intensive to intelligent construction.
The global construction robotics market is growing at over 15% CAGR, with the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, seen as the largest future market. The 15th Five-Year Plan elevates intelligent construction to unprecedented importance.

Construction is essentially a combination of atomic actions — every standardizable, repeatable physical operation is a natural landing point for embodied AI.
| Action | Typical Scenarios | AI Empowerment |
|---|---|---|
| Nailing | Formwork fixing, keel connection, insulation anchoring | High-frequency repetitive action. Robots visually locate nail points with constant force and depth, far exceeding manual consistency. |
| Welding | Rebar cage welding, steel structure joints, pipe welding | High-risk skilled process. Robots achieve automatic seam tracking welding with qualification rates above 98%. |
| Tying | Beam/slab rebar tying, bridge deck rebar tying | Repetitive bending work. Automatic tying robots operate 24/7 non-stop. |
| Spraying | Concrete curing, interior/exterior painting, waterproof coating | Robots precisely control nozzle pressure and flow via PWM for uniform coverage. |
| Plastering | Interior wall plastering, floor leveling, putty scraping | Plastering robots with scraper end-effectors achieve flatness error within ±2mm. |
| Masonry | Block wall masonry, brick stacking, prefab component palletizing | Robots stack block-by-block per BIM model with precisely controlled verticality and mortar fullness. |
| Cutting | Rebar cutting, steel plate cutting, concrete slotting | High-noise, high-dust work. Robots cut along preset paths, reducing personnel exposure to hazardous environments. |
| Drilling | Anchor bolt drilling, pipe hole drilling, curtain wall insert drilling | Robots visually locate holes, auto-adjust angle and depth, reducing per-hole time by 50%. |
| Hoisting | Prefab hoisting, curtain wall panel hoisting, steel component alignment | Closed-loop control combining machine vision and force sensing, alignment accuracy ±5mm. |
| Grinding | Floor grinding, wall putty grinding, weld grinding | Grinding robots with adaptive pressure control for consistent surface roughness. |
| Transport | Horizontal material transport, inter-floor logistics, waste removal | AGV/AMR with construction-grade chassis for autonomous transport on complex site surfaces. |
| Surveying | Axis layout, elevation control, as-built measurement, 3D scanning | Layout robots auto-draw per BIM model, accuracy ±1mm, 5-10x manual efficiency. |
| Inspection | Concrete rebound test, rebar cover detection, safety hazard inspection | Inspection robots with multi-sensors for autonomous patrol, AI real-time defect and hazard detection. |
Every atomic action in construction can be redefined by embodied AI. From single-action robotization to multi-action coordinated orchestration, ultimately achieving intelligent closed-loop control of the entire construction process.
Based on combinations of the above atomic actions, embodied AI can cover the complete construction workflow from foundation to topping out:

Robots operate 24/7, improving key process efficiency by 50%–200%. A single intelligent curing robot can replace 3–5 workers, saving hundreds of thousands in annual labor costs.
Embodied AI robots work in high-risk zones, achieving human-machine separation. Fundamentally reducing risks of falls, mechanical injuries, and collapses to protect worker safety.
Standardized program execution replaces manual judgment. Concrete curing precisely controls spraying volume and timing, masonry maintains millimeter-level precision, elevating quality consistency from 'basically qualified' to 'precisely controllable'.
Every robot is a mobile data collection terminal. Construction data feeds back to the digital twin platform in real-time, shifting management decisions from intuition to data-driven approaches.
Cross-industry expertise with interdisciplinary integration
Construction robotics is not a single-discipline product — it's a systems engineering challenge deeply crossing mechanical engineering, control science, computer vision, AI, construction technology, and communications. Our core advantage lies in cross-industry, cross-disciplinary systems integration and engineering deployment experience.
Years of deep expertise in robotics, having served laboratory automation, industrial manufacturing, special operations, and defense equipment across multiple industries.
Construction sites are highly unstructured environments — dust, vibration, temperature variations, complex terrain, dynamic obstacles. Engineering reliability is required at every layer: perception, decision-making, execution, and communication.
Deep understanding of every atomic action in target scenarios, analyzing mechanical characteristics, precision requirements, and cycle constraints; then orchestrating multiple actions into complete process closures; finally achieving multi-robot coordination through digital twin platforms.
ROS ecosystem compatible, standard protocols (WebSocket/MQTT/CAN), BIM format integration (IFC/RVT), with extension interfaces. Seamless integration with existing construction IT systems, BIM platforms, and smart site management systems.
