Summary

The Hilti Jaibot is a tracked, battery-powered overhead drilling robot that executes BIM-derived drilling plans on concrete ceilings and corrugated metal deck using a modified Hilti TE 6-A22 rotary hammer on a 5-axis telescopic arm. It drills and marks overhead MEP holes for hangers, seismic supports, and brackets; anchor and fastener installation stays with the crew. One operator supervises 300 to 700 overhead holes per day, removing the crew from sustained overhead postures and silica dust exposure. The Jaibot has been shipping since 2019 across nine confirmed deployments in six countries, with 10 unique customers documented.

How it works on your site

Overhead Drilling & Anchoring

The Jaibot drills autonomously within a 1.8 m diameter work envelope from a BIM-derived plan, then the operator repositions it via radio control to the next station. The robot relies on a Hilti PLT 300 total station for localization rather than onboard vision, so line-of-sight between the prism and the total station must remain clear throughout operation. A paint marking mode identifies hole positions on the ceiling before or instead of drilling, and a 2022 update added Field-to-BIM reporting that syncs drilling progress back to the project model.
