Automatic
grouting robot
Using Computer Vision and Robot Operating System (ROS), we designed a compact and precise grouting robot that is fully autonomous. Our robot is able to fill up the grout in all the grout lines in a particular room. This includes navigating past obstacles such as pipes and drain holes to completely automate the tile grouting process.
Human intervention is only needed to load and unload grout and water, move the robot from room to room due to the steps separating them. The robot does the real-time mapping of the rooms (including irregularly shaped corridors and the main living area) and grout an entire apartment with minimal intervention — operated by a single "start" button, and leaving the robot to run fully autonomously afterwards after loading the robot. No prior set up, floor plan, or any information from BIM needed.

CONQUAS compliance - Singapore's Building and Construction Authority's (BCA) Construction Quality Assessment System
Quality control of the grouting
A camera continuously detects uncleaned grout or defects, including on the tiles.
Data can be synced with BIM upon request
Grout Tile gaps and wash off excess grout autonomously
Even in odd-shaped rooms
2+ hours of unsupervised operations
Sufficient to cover a standard living room without reload.
Under 15 mins set-up time every 2 hours. Operators only needed to reload grout and water.
Handles obstacles and keep-out areas
Use red tape to demarcate boundaries that are not walls, such as a ledge, curb, or entrances that do not have doors (otherwise you could just close the door)
Single button setup

Features
Engage us now with no upfront costs
A free trial of our grouting robot (Singapore, US, Europe, Hong Kong), during which it will grout a small designated space, typically a living room, will be offered as part of our complementary service. Commercial terms are only finalized once we demonstrate a proven track record and meet your quality standards, so as to not only ensure reliability in our service, but also to uphold our stellar reputation in the industry.
We no longer provide grouting as a service in Singapore, instead either selling or renting our robots with site support and maintenance included. Commercial terms can be discussed for the other markets listed above.
Industrial partners
Tested at 15 construction projects across Singapore with our clients adding up to about a third of the local market.

Demo units
Fabrica is an international startup, featuring offices and demo units in key locations across the globe. Our headquarters are located in Delaware, while strategically placed offices in Singapore and Brno, Czechia, and soon Hong Kong to cater to customers in those regions. For individuals in US, Europe, and Hong Kong, we could arrange for an in-person demo.
