Kajima deploys FieldAI autonomy robots across 10 Japanese construction sites
Kajima began full-scale deployment of robots using FieldAI’s autonomy software on November 5, 2026. Over 2,000 autonomous missions have been completed across more than 10 sites in Japan within a year, marking a shift from pilot projects to operational use. The system, built around a general-purpose autonomy unit, uses onboard edge AI to process LiDAR and camera data for real-time navigation,…
Key points
- FieldAI’s autonomy software powers robots on 10+ Japanese construction sites, with 2,000+ missions completed since 2025
- Onboard edge AI processes LiDAR/camera data for real-time navigation without cloud reliance, enabling indoor/underground use
- Robots automate site mapping, progress tracking, and emergency response, uploading data to a web portal for teams
The robots automate routine tasks like site mapping, 360-degree photography, and progress documentation, uploading data to a web portal for real-time monitoring. Security patrols and emergency response missions—including post-disaster site assessments—are also supported, with robots collecting video and point-cloud data to accelerate safety checks. Kajima aims to expand deployments and apply the autonomy layer to additional machinery, though the scalability of this shared system across operations remains an open question.
