How it works on your site
The TOMOROBO is a 38.5 kg battery-powered rebar tying robot that traverses horizontal rebar grids on dirt floors and slabs, activating two mounted tying tools at each detected intersection. It covers a single subtask within the concrete reinforcement job: tying rebar intersections across grids with 100 to 300 mm pitch, while rebar placement, spacer positioning, and all vertical or wall rebar work stay with the crew. The A1 model shipped in 2020 for small-diameter rebar (phi 10 to phi 16), and the A2 followed in 2021 for large diameters up to phi 32; KEN ROBOTECH reports deployments at 180+ construction sites across Japan and Singapore.
Rebar Placement and Tying
The robot rides along the rebar grid and fires two tying tools at each intersection it detects, tying on both one-way and round-trip passes. Sensors adapt to pitch variances of +/- 20 mm and rebar width variances of +/- 40 mm without manual recalibration. A single switch selects one of three tying patterns: all intersections, every other, or every third. The crew still handles rebar placement, spacer coordination, vertical rebar, and manual repositioning of the 38.5 kg robot body between rows (unless the optional Slider or Operobo system is installed).
