Revolutionizes building measurement by cutting time 90% over hand measurement. Similar to surveying equipment, MapperBot can reproduce the actual shape of a room, even if it's curved! It scans 360 points over a 180 degree sweep simultaneously, so it measures up to 1,000 sq. ft. per minute with resolution up to 0.04 inch, <1% cumulative linear error and <0.1% area error in a building of 15,000sf or greater. Because of  unique dynamic position updating software, absolute accuracy is not dependent upon building size. MapperBot can measure buildings of nearly any size. Scans are in raster form, with .jpg output, compatible with any photo editor.

MapperBot Cuts Time by 90%

Building Maintenance: MapperBot stores floor plans electronically so you can:

  • Access electronic reports quickly 
  • Document and archive a record of changes at each stage of construction or repair
  • Verify as-built dimensions

    Homeland Security: MapperBot allows hundreds of properties to be mapped quickly and inexpensively, so that security professionals, engineers, firefighters, First Response and other rescue teams can:

  • Quickly and inexpensively map all high-risk buildings within their own territories
  • Embed interior maps into GIS satellite maps
  • Quickly identify escape and rescue routes using the plans
  • Tag problem areas for security improvements
  • Track status of improvement implementation
    Make Buildings Robot-Ready!: Make MapperBot plans available to local First Responders and security suppliers. Once mapped, buildings can be navigated by PatrolBot or any security, monitoring or delivery robot with MOBILEROBOTSinside.
    • Improve response by emergency personnel
    • Enable autonomous robot access in case of emergency
    • Reduce installation time for security, monitoring or delivery robots


       
    3 Steps to an As-Built Map

    STEP 1: Joystick MapperBot once
    around each room and hallway to scan each floor of the building.

    AREA ACCURACY
    Data shown is for a 15,000sf building. Testing is based on comparison with Leica Disto Pro A model laser range finder (listed accuracy +/- 1.5mm).
     
    Avg. Difference         +/-6.94mm / 0.27in.
     Avg. % Error              0.09%
     Avg. Std. Deviation    5.32mm / 0.21in.
