Automation in Action: How to Deploy Ground Robotics for Daily 360 Capture

Projects move fast, and manual capture often struggles to keep pace with the demand for daily site logistics maps and fresh interior walks. 

Join Barton Malow and DroneDeploy for a session on how automated systems are becoming the assistive layer that turns capture into a consistent, shareable record.

We will break down how Barton Malow deployed ground robotics to automate coverage and cadence, turning reality capture into a future planning tool rather than just an insurance tool.

Expect a technical deep dive into a pilot project, covering everything from mesh network setup in challenging concrete environments to executing overnight 360 walks when the site is static.

Agenda:

• Moving from manual to automated: Solving "death by 1,000 cuts" for project engineers and moving to automated daily capture.
• Project choice and setup: A look at what makes a site ideal.
• Hardware and logistics: Why the Unitree Go2 W was chosen and how the induction charging dock manages the ~1:1 charge-to-walk ratio.
• Capturing the outcome: Moving from human-led walks to high-quality, repeatable robotic panoramas across multiple floors.
• From data to decisions: Deploying AI agents on robotic capture data to automatically track progress and flag safety issues at scale.
• Standardizing at scale: Building a reality capture standard that persists across complex programs and large portfolios.
• Live Q&A
