Tybot - A Mechanical Engineering Solution to a Construction Need

This autonomous rebar-tying robot is a great example of meshing construction engineering with mechanical engineering. A Construction Equipment article and video outlines how this robot is also helping to fill the void where there is a decline in skilled labor. I believe this type robot will also help to reduce human error, provide more consistent rebar connections and possibly increase productivity as the technology advances. As the skilled labor pool dwindles over time, the push for robotic type workers could very well be trending in construction in the near future. - Jason Savage, PE - DTC Construction Instructor
