The Smarter Way to Place Rebar
A rebar lifting, carrying, and placing robot, purpose-built to help crews move faster, safer, and more efficiently.
Available as a Robot as a Service (RaaS)
IronBOT is an advanced rebar placing machine designed to lift, carry, and place bundles of transverse and longitudinal rebar for bridge deck construction. With a placement rate of over 5,000 pounds per hour, IronBOT reduces manual handling, improves crew efficiency, and helps accelerate project timelines.
While IronBOT automates the physical lifting, carrying, and placement of rebar, it operates under the guidance of a Robot Supervisor, who both oversees its operation and singulates bar from the bundle for placement. Setup requires planning and coordination due to the IronBOT’s size and capabilities, and once in motion, IronBOT delivers consistent, high-volume output. Available through Robot as a Service (RaaS), IronBOT supports both general contractors and specialty subcontractors ready to modernize their operations.

FAQs
The Robot Supervisor manually positions IronBOT at the first bar position via the transmitter (“Belly Box”) and enters bar spacing. Once placement starts, IronBOT tracks its position through local odometry to place subsequent bars. Cameras see once the bar is in the catch point (fed by the roll index) and automatically grabs the bar and releases at the correct height. Once the bar is placed, IronBOT automatically moves forward to the next placement location and repeats until stopped by Robot Supervisor. Additional options include the ability to place multiple bars in a single location or skip locations.
