Bionic Construction Workers
Kristi Martindale, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer - Sarcos

For more than 25 years, Sarcos has created dexterous robotic systems designed to master the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable environments. Their new Guardian™ XO robot is a powered, untethered, industrial exoskeleton suit that improves human strength and endurance without restricting the operator’s freedom of movement. Combining human intelligence, instinct and judgment with robotic strength, endurance and precision, Sarcos looks to dramatically change the construction workforce of the future.

Automated Rebar Tying Drones
Eohan George, CEO, CEO - SkyMul

SkyTy developed by SkyMul is an autonomous rebar tying drone programed to identify rebar intersections without cad files, site plans or manual programming. Fast to deploy, SkyTy can be setup in minutes and dispatched in swarms enabling parallel work and increased production. At nearly twice the speed of human labor SkyTy has the potential to provide an 84% labor savings and 13% cost reduction.

Workforce Discussion: Following the above presentations, our expert panel will discuss the tilt-up workforce of the future and how these and other technologies will change the way we employ human labor.
