Mission & Purpose

Founded by a registered P.E. and a NASA engineer, Rugged Robotics is a Houston-based, construction technology company, aimed at improving labor productivity through the introduction of robotics and automation. Rugged builds hardware enabled solutions to real world problems and is developing a portfolio of robotic platforms for use on commercial construction sites. Each product they offer solves an existing pain-point, performs tangible work, and saves contractors time and money. Rugged's current focus is tackling the challenge of field layout. Rugged is replacing the error prone, manual layout process with an automated rover that marks fully coordinated A/E designs directly onto unfinished concrete floors. Their solution delivers fast, accurate, detailed, and coordinated layouts, enabling fast and efficient installation.
