Tyler lays the floor. The trade can't hire fast enough.

A 50-lb flooring robot that installs ceramic tile, LVT, VCT, and carpet tile. One operator delivers 800 sq ft/day in ceramic or 1,500 sq ft/day in glue-down LVT.

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

Tyler handles about 100 sq ft an hour for ceramic placement with one operator. Crew handles edges and cuts.

Toward physical compute

Tyler is the first worker.

Flooring gives us a concrete place to prove machine labor: a defined scope, measurable output, and work a contractor can inspect. It is the first step toward physical compute, where physical labor becomes reliable infrastructure.
