Semi-autonomous drilling robot web app
The product
Jaibot is a construction robot that drills the holes in ceilings that pipes, ducts and cables hang from, work that is strenuous and slow by hand. It works from the building's digital plans: the drilling plan goes up to the Hilti cloud, an operator on site sets the robot up with a tablet and a total station, and Jaibot marks and drills every hole within its reach, reporting its progress back as it goes.
Summary
I designed the web application for the office: where admin users plan projects, see the status of every project, and are told when a robot has an issue that needs someone to step in, such as low paint, a paint refill or an obstruction.
The web app worked seamlessly with the tablet application the robot operator uses on site, with the two kept in step over the cloud.
