Summary
The CivDot Mini is a 35 lb wheeled robot that autonomously marks layout points, lines, curves, and dashes on outdoor construction sites using spray paint and GNSS/RTK positioning. It covers layout and pre-marking for roads, highways, and building pads from uploaded DXF or CSV plans; final striping and any indoor layout stay with the crew. The CivDot Mini is shipping, with two confirmed deployments in the United States.
How it works on your site
Layout and Measurement
The robot navigates to each layout point using GNSS with RTK corrections and sprays the mark type selected in CivPlan software, without pre-scanning or total station setup. One operator follows at up to 100 feet and swaps spray cans when prompted by the tablet. The CivDot family also captures ground elevation data during marking, adding a surveying value alongside the layout pass.
