A construction site changes every day, and nobody has time to document all of it. A four-legged robot can cross ground a wheeled one cannot, and Cereal ties each walk to the site record: what was seen, where, when and who asked. The site manager stays responsible for every decision.
For construction managers, site engineers and project owners
Start with repeatable documentation: a supervised walk at the end of the day that takes progress photos from the same points and notes visible issues for the site manager. Uneven ground is where a four-legged robot is useful, but every site needs its own assessment. Our first real-robot demonstration is in a home; construction workflows need validation on your site and in your conditions.
Agree a set of named points on a level and photograph them from the same positions each day. Compare the pictures over time to support progress reports and handovers. Measurements, 3D scans and comparison with drawings need extra sensors and integration.
Report what can be seen on the route: a blocked access path, missing edge protection, standing water, materials left in a walkway. The site manager decides what is a hazard and what to do. A camera view is not a safety inspection or a certification.
Keep each walk's photos, times and notes with the site, including points that were skipped or blocked. Test whether it saves time on daily reports compared with your current process.
Today · test robotConversation, observation and supported movement on our current quadruped. See the real demonstration; each new site still needs setup and validation.
Next · plannedWheeled robots that carry boxes and parcels between approved places. They will not move pallets or load and unload themselves. Specific models, payloads and integrations will be confirmed before deployment.
Then · plannedBodies for delivering items and serving people in homes, hotels and offices. Each workflow is tested before it is offered.
After that · plannedA humanoid upper body on a wheeled base, with arms for reaching and handover. Each manipulation task needs its own tested hardware and skill.
Later · plannedDrones for high places and large sites, and robot arms for fixed stations. Each needs its own integration and safety case before it joins a site.
Site context is designed to outlast a robot. A new body still needs a supported integration, localization, permission review and validation of its skills. Our cross-body demonstration to date is in simulation.
Read the cross-body result →Start small enough to learn what works. Expand only after the team and the site owner review the results.
Read about permissions and privacy →Check slab edges, openings, stairs, rebar, mud and debris before any route is approved. The current robot is not rated for rain, extreme heat, heavy dust or hazardous areas, and battery life limits each walk. Start on one dry, protected level.
Plan walks outside active work hours, or in a separated zone, at first. Keep cranes, plant and vehicles off the route, and agree where the robot waits and who can stop it.
Sites often lack Wi-Fi. Plan coverage, a charging spot and secure overnight storage. Connecting to project management or reporting tools is separate scope.
A pilot should answer a real question for you. Record the starting point, test the agreed workflow and review where it helped or needed intervention.
Not today. The current robot takes photos and describes what it sees on request. 3D scanning and comparison with drawings or a building model need a mapping lidar, software and validation that would be agreed for a pilot.
Unattended patrols are planned, not available today. Cereal is not a replacement for site security, alarms or a guard service, and a person stays responsible for the site.
No. Weather ratings, terrain and battery life must be checked for the chosen hardware. We do not claim all-weather operation or hazardous-area certification.
Join the founding-site list with a short description of your site and the walk you want to improve. We scope the robot, setup, support and any integrations with you. Pricing and timing are agreed before any commitment or charge.
Joining is free. Suitability, supported tasks, timing, pricing and support are agreed before anything is charged.
