A robotics company focused on automating tasks in vertical construction and complex building projects, such as curtainwall bracket installation, was named one of the top robotics companies in the United States.
Raise Robotics, the brainchild of Conley Oster and Gary Chen, was named one of BuiltWorlds’ top 50 robotics companies in 2024. Raise was named among several prominent equipment companies, including Caterpillar and Volvo, in the autonomous vehicle/heavy equipment category.
“This prestigious recognition reflects our incredible team’s hard work, dedication and innovation,” the company posted on LinkedIn. “A huge thank you to BuiltWorlds for this honor and to our partners, customers and supporters who have been integral to our journey.”
Raise’s technology includes robotic platforms that can perform precise and repetitive tasks, such as drilling, fastening and material handling, improving efficiency and safety on construction sites. The company has worked with several glazing companies, including TSI Corp. and Harmon, on projects throughout the U.S. TSI partnered with Raise in 2023 to install curtainwall brackets on a façade project in Virginia.
BuiltWorlds’ list derives from survey data, direct industry research, case studies, member conversations and feedback. The types of automatic equipment engineered by recognized companies include autonomous vehicles and heavy equipment, demolition robotics, monitoring and layout robots and service and labor robotics.
