| WHICHBOT SCORE | 8.3 / 10 | 7.6 / 10 |
| OUR TAKE | The veteran of construction robotics. Reads the BIM model, drives itself to position, and drills perfect overhead anchor holes — dust-controlled — all shift long. | The facade painter. Attaches to the lifts contractors already own and coats huge exterior walls with machine consistency — keeping crews off the boom. |
