## Summary

Raise Robotics will present a leadership framework for scaling autonomous robots in construction at RoboBusiness 2026. Kenrick Tjandra, who leads robotics deployment at the San Francisco-based company, will discuss how to bridge the gap between lab performance and real-world use. His approach focuses on operator discipline over hardware fixes, based on 10 projects across eight states and over 4,528 robot-hours with zero safety incidents.

The framework, peer-reviewed by the Project Production Institute, identifies three key challenges: sampling bias, margin stacking, and capability-envelope variance. Tjandra will also share operator-training lessons adopted by the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. The session takes place on October 20 at 1:15 p.m. ET in Santa Clara, California.

## Key points

- Raise Robotics holds U.S. commercial record for autonomous robots installing building envelopes, with 10 projects across eight states
- Kenrick Tjandra’s framework distinguishes between product fixes and operator discipline for scaling robots in the field
- Framework peer-reviewed by Project Production Institute, with lessons adopted by the International Union of Painters

## Why it matters

The framework offers a structured approach for robotics teams to transition from lab demos to real-world deployment, addressing common pitfalls in scaling autonomous systems.
