RIC Robotics is developing a 20-foot autonomous robot named Zyrex for construction, aiming for a prototype in early 2026. Designed with cognitive abilities, Zyrex will perform tasks autonomously in high-risk environments, addressing labor shortages in the construction industry where over 439,000 skilled workers will be needed by 2025. The robot will enhance safety, given that the construction sector faced 1,075 fatalities in 2023. Utilizing AI and advanced sensors, Zyrex seeks to collaborate with human workers for improved efficiency and safety on job sites.
The expectation is that Zyrex will mark a significant leap forward in robotic construction, especially with its cognitive capabilities and full autonomy in complex tasks.
With an anticipated need for over 439,000 skilled workers by 2025, Zyrex aims to address labor shortages while enhancing safety at high-risk job sites.
RIC Robotics believes employing Zyrex can help mitigate the high fatality rates in construction, where over 1,075 deaths were reported in 2023.
Equipped with LiDAR and VLA AI, Zyrex is designed for dynamic environments, allowing it to work alongside human operators in various construction tasks.
