Feeling energized ⚡️after a fun weekend exploring numerous #robotics innovations and use cases at MassRobotics’ #ROBOBoston 🤖 community event in the Seaport District. The robot parade and high school robotics clubs (and their robots) were the highlights! Thank you to my Skanska 🏗️ colleagues for making time to staff our booth (Albert Zulps, Graham Condit , Daniel Baker, Ayesha Adams, Cherie Walsh), Alex S. Rand and Jacob Ryals from Nextera Robotics for hanging out with us (with special guest Didge in Skanska blue 🤘🏻🙏🏻), and Joyce Sidopoulos of MassRobotics for being a great industry partner 🙌🏻! I also want to share an attendee interaction that left me inspired. A high school student visited our booth, curious that a construction company would sponsor a robotics event. She shared an interest in electrical engineering and robotics, but has strong ties to the trades, and grew increasingly excited as we demonstrated how we use laser scanning, drones, and robotics to reduce burden and improve jobsite safety, quality, and productivity. I hope we motivated her, and the many other curious minds we spoke with, to consider and explore a technology enabled career path into construction!

𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐃𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 Gilbane Building Company and Nextera Robotics (MIT, Y-Combinator) are committed to transforming construction delivery. Nextera’s Didge AI-powered platform provides scalable, autonomous robots that are cost-efficient and sustainable, making construction sites safer and more efficient. Currently in use at the new 17-story, 400,000 SF Children's Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) Morgan Center for Research and Innovation, this platform brings tremendous value. “The biggest benefit is efficiency—we can get so many different outputs from one scan,” explains Ryan Spotts, Gilbane senior project executive. “We’re getting information on safety, quality control, and progress monitoring, as well as keeping our client informed.” The Nextera robots are fully autonomous, navigating multiple floors of the site and taking consistent documentation to create a digital repository of project imagery. Spotts says that with the CHOP’s facade mostly completed and work shifting to interiors, this kind of site documentation accelerates work on the interior phase. “Gilbane greatly values our long-standing partnership with Nextera Robotics. The robust progress tracking, safety monitoring, and visual documentation bring tremendous value to our project teams, freeing them from repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on providing our clients with innovative and sustainable building solutions,” said Heidi DeBenedetti, Gilbane’s Chief Operating Officer. Didge offers BIM integration for quality control and progress tracking and provides AI-driven predictions for schedule management—small adjustments can add up. “All of these micro-adjustments, over a one-to-three-year project—the amount of time saved is huge, said Jacob Ryals, director of operations at Nextera. At Gilbane, we’re committed to providing innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions that solve operational challenges, enhance our clients’ experience, and seamlessly integrate into our workflows. “People spend time on value-added problem solving, not data gathering,” says Spotts. Smaller projects that don’t have the budget for robust documentation can get the same level of reports.” #GilbaneInnovates #ConstructionTechnology
