Construction robotics company Gritt has agreed a partnership with MasTec, a large North American infrastructure builder, to use its AI systems on MasTec Renewables projects, and the two plan to look at other kinds of infrastructure, Gritt announced.
Gritt fits robotic attachments to common construction machines, with AI that learns tasks such as picking and placing, assembly and moving material while workers guide and check the work. MasTec Renewables evaluated the systems on live sites while installing megawatts of solar panels.
The work will start with MasTec's utility-scale solar projects in several states. Rob Turner, vice president of construction at MasTec Renewables, said the company had tested Gritt systems on active sites and saw a chance to combine its crews' experience with the technology.
