Haulotte is testing robotic arms attached to MEWPs. Working with French construction robotics startup Builder Assist, Haulotte is using the technology for tasks such as facade treatment and overhead drilling.

The robotic arm is currently being tested in real site conditions, where constraints related to repetitiveness, physical strain and accessibility are particularly high.

The photograph above shows a Haulotte lift fitted with a six-axis robotic arm from Schneider Electric, which is connected to a 3D, AI-enabled ‘perception box’ and a GPU.
