Tyler : It's in the Name

A 50-lb chassis that rolls onto a commercial jobsite, scans the floor, and installs tile, vinyl, or carpet autonomously — six times the throughput of a human setter, on a single charge.

What it does

Drive in. Hand off the tablet.

Rolls onto any jobsite

A 50-lb chassis drives in, plugs in, and goes to work. No rails, no civil works, no install crew.

Scans and plans autonomously

Onboard sensors map the floor and compute the optimal layout — no chalk lines, no manual setout.

Places at ±1 mm

Tile, vinyl, or carpet placed at six times human throughput on a single charge. Crew handles edges and cuts.

Core capabilities

Maximum efficiency

Lightning-fast carpet stretching and alignment. Minimizes crew downtime, driving rapid room-turnover velocity with consistent, ripple-free results.

Built for safety

Eliminates manual knee-kicker and power-stretcher strain. Protects crews from long-term joint wear and fatigue injuries while stabilizing daily jobsite labor.

Smart & intuitive

Autonomous floorboard tracking adjusts tension scaling dynamically based on textile thickness and backing structural-matrix profiles.

Workforce crisis mitigation

Designed to counter the critical 2030 finishing-trade deficit by scaling single-operator square-footage output threefold.
