How it works on your site
The Robot Plotter is a 21 kg wheeled robot that autonomously marks lines and survey points on road surfaces, airport pavements, and tunnel floors from pre-loaded digital drawings. It covers layout and measurement within the roads and pavements job, using RTK-GNSS or Total Station positioning to execute marking patterns while one operator supervises from outside the active work zone. The Robot Plotter has shipped since 2018 from the Netherlands, with distributors in seven countries.
Layout and Measurement
The Robot Plotter loads a DXF drawing, locks onto RTK-GNSS or Total Station positioning, and drives the marking pattern autonomously while the operator stays off the road surface. A drilling module (optional, launched February 2023) handles borehole reference marking on concrete; the base unit handles paint lines on asphalt and tunnel floors. The survey crew's exposure to active traffic is eliminated for premarking tasks.
