About Ken Robotec
Rebar-Tying Tomorobo travels across reinforcement grids and automatically ties detected intersections, reducing the repeated bending and hand-tool work required on bridge decks, foundations and concrete structures. The system is designed around live construction surfaces and changing site layouts.
Transport Tomorobo moves materials through changing site layouts and supports workers during repetitive delivery tasks. Ken Robotec supplies the equipment through sales, rental and construction-DX services, including site assessment, deployment planning, operator support and accessories for construction robots.
