About Mark1
Mark1 is Rugged Robotics’ autonomous construction-layout robot for transferring coordinated digital models onto a jobsite floor. Its holonomic drive moves around openings and congested areas while a 5½-inch printhead lays down lines, curves, symbols and multi-line text. The system uses a network of passive targets instead of a robotic total station and is specified to reproduce layouts within one-eighth of an inch.
Rugged sells the workflow as a managed service: its team prepares BIM or CAD files, mobilises the robot and operator, establishes site control and hands the printed layout to trade crews. Mark1 has been used for drywall, MEP, specialty and equipment layouts. A 2026 customer case study describes repeat deployments across more than 20 active warehouses, providing exact-product evidence beyond a laboratory or staged demonstration.
