technology solutions, including the SkyTy P3 rebar-tying drone robot. As with Tybot, which we covered a few weeks ago, the SkyTy concept (then known by its parent company’s name SkyMul) first gained U.S. contractor notice at the 2020 World of Concrete. The SkyTy – which is still in prototype stage – uses drones to both map and then tie rebar intersections. It employs a ground station, a nimble SkyTy mapper drone and several “worker” tying drones – how many depends on the size of the project and desired production rates. The mapper drone is designed to be agile while the beefier tying drone carries the payload of the tying tool and wire spool.
