Floor Covering News features Tyler, HFR's commercial flooring robot
More flooring work, the same crew. Lauren Malone examines the practical case for robotic installation in a flooring industry trade publication.
Contractors tell us they have projects available and too few qualified installers to take them on. Floor Covering News covers that problem through Tyler, the commercial flooring robot we design and build at Human Friendly Robotics. Lauren Malone's reporting looks at what changes when a crew adds robotic placement to its daily work.
The installer sets the first row and the layout. Tyler follows that reference to place tile and plank across the open floor. Preparation, cuts, edges, and finishing stay with the crew. That division of work is central to our approach: give skilled installers more capacity and reduce the repetitive lifting and placement that wear them down. The article also covers our per-square-foot pricing, so contractors can assess the economics against an actual project.
