5 Robotics AEC Titans in Asia

In the dynamic AEC landscape, innovation in technology helps to direct the industry further. Asia stands as a pioneer within robotics innovation, bringing cutting-edge technology to the forefront of AEC projects. BuiltWorlds discusses some this year's top robotics leaders within the ecosystem in the 2023 Robotics 50 List, including five companies that are within Asia. This list is curated from data within the 2022-2023 Benchmarking Survey, direct industry feedback, and case studies.

BuiltWorlds is thrilled to host the inaugural Tokyo Summit this October at the Conrad Hotel. This two-day event aspires to foster collaboration between Asian innovators while allowing participants based outside of Asia the opportunity to gain vital insights of the developments and advancements occurring within the region. Above all, this summit will be a knowledge exchange–discussing all of the intricacies and emerging technologies within the built world.
