1999 年尼尔·格申菲尔德 (Neil Gershenfeld) 出版了他的著作《当事物开始思考》(When Things Start to Think) 时，仅 10 年后物联网的概念才刚刚开始慢慢改变工业生产，彼时商业建筑工地的数字化仍处于起步阶段。 建筑行业传统上是地方性的，存在着地区差异，价值创造链也呈现分散布局。 凭借半自动的 Jaibot 钻孔机器人，位于列支敦士登的建筑技术集团喜利得公司现在打开了“建筑 4.0”概念的大门。 代表工地人工智能机器人的 Jaibot 产品，将人工智能引入建筑工地。 这款移动机器人设计用于大量精确定位的钻孔工作，这些孔用来安装管道和管路系统。 钻孔不仅是一项费力且容易出错的工作，如果需要在梯子或脚手架上工作，也会很危险。 天花板上的每项安装也意味着在不同的工种之间工作：电气、干墙施工和防火，其程序和步骤是重复性的。 喜利得 Jaibot 可以接管所有这些类型的工作，并干净、准确地完成这些工作。 它包含一个五轴伸缩式机器人钻孔臂、连续轨道和激光引导定向系统，因此建筑工人可以使用平板电脑站在地面对其进行操作。 完全无绳系统的电池续航时间长达 8 小时，并具有除尘和打孔标记的集成解决方案。 在钻孔和标记过程中，机器人通过移动数据网络进行自我同步，可以方便地实时监控项目的当前状态并进行记录归档。

When Neil Gershenfeld published his book “When Things Start to Think” in 1999 and the notion of the Internet of Things had just started to slowly make its way to change industrial production only 10 years later, the digitisation of commercial construction sites was still in its infancy. The construction industry is traditionally local, with regional differences and fragmented value-creation chains. With the semi-autonomous Jaibot drilling robot, the Liechtenstein-based construction technology group Hilti has now opened the door to the concept of “Construction 4.0”. Standing for Jobsite Artificial Intelligence robot, Jaibot introduces artificial intelligence to construction sites. The mobile robot is designed for drilling very large quantities of precisely located holes, such as those required for installing pipes and ductwork. This is not only a laborious and error-prone task, it can be dangerous too if working on ladders or scaffolds is required. Each installation on the ceiling also implies the use of different work disciplines: electrical, drywall construction and fire protection, the procedures and steps of which are repetitive. The Hilti Jaibot can take over all these types of work and carry them out cleanly and precisely. It incorporates a five-axis, telescopic robotic drilling arm, continuous tracks and a laser-guided orientation system, so that construction workers can operate it from the ground using a tablet. The completely cordless system has a battery life of up to eight hours and features an integrated solution for dust extraction and hole markings. During the drilling and marking processes, the robot synchronises itself via the mobile data network, allowing the current status of the project to be conveniently monitored in real time for documentation.
