Where you go for construction robots
A public record of where construction robots have worked on real sites, who ran them and on which jobs.
Why is it easier to find honest reviews of a $500 drill than a $500,000 robot?
Makers publish marketing and trade media repeats it. Before committing budget, a contractor needs something else: who has already run the robot, on what kind of job, and what came of it.
RIC keeps that record. A deployment is one robot doing real work on one project, and we record who ran it, where, and the sources that say so. Every job is broken into its subtasks, so you can see which ones robots already do and which are still crew led.
How the record works
We count a deployment once, however many sources report it. Trade-show demos, catalogue listings and funding announcements don't count. Every deployment carries an evidence tier, from Verified (published by the client, the company that ran the robot or an independent outlet) down to Unconfirmed.
Our count is a floor: many robot jobs are never published. How RIC counts
Independence
Makers don't review records before they're published. No company pays to appear on RIC or to change its place in a list, and claiming a page is free.
Corrections. If we have something wrong, tell us and we fix the record. How corrections work
Evidence over claims. A contractor's account of a job outranks a maker's press release. A maker's own case study is the weakest published source, because the maker is selling.
The record is the product. Every number on RIC comes from it, and the rules for counting are public.
Scope
In scope
- Robots doing physical trade work on construction sites, autonomous or operator guided
- Drones and site cameras that capture the site themselves, for inspection, scanning or progress tracking
- Off-site and logistics robots for prefabrication, material handling and temporary works
- Records from clients, contractors, independent outlets and makers, each with its evidence tier
Out of scope
- Consumer and hobby kits outside commercial construction
- Software with no machine of its own, such as BIM, scheduling and project management tools
A robot can be listed before any deployment is on record. Its page then shows 0 deployments.
