Summary

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 18 documented customers across four countries and distributors in seven.

Layout and Measurement

How it works on your site

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.

Positioning RTK-GNSS or Total Station RTK requires correction service or base station
Footprint 90 x 63 x 44 cm 21 kg; fits in a car trunk
Power Rechargeable battery, 6-8 hr runtime Approx. 3 hr recharge (distributor sources); Li-ion chemistry not independently confirmed
Site prep DXF drawing required Optional GNSS surveying extension can create field drawings (vendor-stated, not independently confirmed in use)
Connectivity Tyker Civil web app or USB Drawing transfer and real-time progress monitoring
Input format DXF (standard CAD exchange) No BIM or IFC integration stated
Crew size One operator replaces a 3-4 person survey crew Operator supervises from outside the active work zone via handheld controller
Accuracy Centimeter-level marking accuracy in RTK-GNSS mode Total Station mode used where higher precision is required; sub-centimeter tolerance not quantified
