Autonomous Equipment: The Future of Construction

Autonomy and self-driving technologies are popping up everywhere, but are they ready for the job site? In this tech talk, Built Robotics will be joined by Mortenson to look at how robots are being developed and deployed to assist workers, improve safety, and generate value. Learn where the technology stands today; how to streamline deployment and maximize ROI; how to improve safety and handle change management; and how the autonomous construction space will continue to evolve over the next 3–5 years.

Robots on the Job Site: Intelligent Tools for the Operating Engineers of the 21st Century

Digital technologies are appearing all over the life cycle of construction projects. From planning and design, to project management, to inspection and verification, software is changing the way every worker gets their job done. In this talk, we’ll be discussing how the next evolution of autonomous technology will enable equipment operators to get more done, and do it faster and safer than ever before. We’ll have a panel of speakers from across the industry sharing how to best leverage advancing technology and how to build the future of construction, together.

AI, Robots, Smart Sensors: Transformative Technology Driving a Safer and More Efficient Construction Industry

In this session, the audience will learn how technology and data will be at the forefront of improving quality, assisting with the massive labor challenge in the construction industry, and improving overall return on investment and how to leverage technology to create proactive risk management programs. The panel will discuss approaches to consistently and efficiently champion innovation, engage both office and field staff while investing in new technology, and provide adequate resources to ensure successful program implementation at every level. The session will touch on how to inspire employees to overcome any fears of technology disruptors and recover if a company experiences setbacks in the early implementation phases. Best practices will be addressed on how to deploy new technology, track the data capture and ROI, and keep all levels engaged in order to achieve the highest level of continuous improvement and success.

Building Infrastructure with Autonomous Machines

Autonomy and self-driving technologies have begun to make inroads in construction, but how should you engage with new methods of building? What are the most effective ways to keep your organization on the cutting edge? How can new technologies be utilized to add the most value on your job site?

In this talk, Built Robotics will be joined by Black & Veatch to look at how robots are being developed and deployed to assist workers, improve safety, and generate value. Learn where the technology stands today; the challenges in construction that are driving the need for autonomy and new technology; how to build an internal culture of innovation and engage effectively with technology companies; and how autonomy will roll out on job sites in the coming years.
