Summary

The BauBot MRS15 is a 1,200 kg tracked drilling robot built on a KUKA KR IONTEC 6-axis arm that automates overhead and multi-angle drilling, hole cleaning, marking, and anchor setting in concrete up to grade C120. It covers one subtask within MEP installation: drilling and anchoring on ceilings, walls, and floors, with the crew handling layout, conduit runs, and all non-drilling trades. The MRS15 has been shipping since 2022; fischer completed a full acquisition of Baubot GmbH in October 2024 and has deployed across Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Overhead Drilling & Anchoring

How it works on your site

Overhead Drilling & Anchoring

The robot positions itself via robotic total station, drills at any angle from floor to ceiling, cleans the hole to ETA standards, marks it for trade identification, and sets the anchor from a 150-piece onboard magazine. A fischer-certified operator supervises from ground level while the KUKA arm reaches up to 5.0 m; the crew no longer works at height for repetitive drilling tasks. Force and torque sensors monitor each drill cycle and trigger a predefined response when the bit hits rebar or voids.
