Q-Bot Limited

Q-Bot is an SME working in the construction and retrofit sector with bases in London, South Wales and Newcastle. Using robots, designed, developed and built in the UK, Q-Bot specialise in improving homes by installing underfloor insulation (UFI) in the voids that are found below millions of houses built before the 1980s. Q-Bot's retrofit solution is fully...

The Future Homes Project (FHP) is an industry-academic partnership for the delivery of new and existing net zero homes - a significant challenge for the UK and globally. Regulatory change is driving developers and asset owners to seek new solutions to ensure homes meet the needs of net zero performance, as well as future climate and occupant satisfaction....

To develop an innovative Moisture Risk Assessment and Management tool to enable Q-Bot to robustly diagnose and manage risks in its robotic underfloor insulation service. This will enable the provision of long-term assurances to clients and industry partners, increasing sales, benefitting building occupants and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Q-Bot is replacing centuries-old construction techniques with smart processes that make it easier for contractors to inspect, maintain and upgrade buildings. Q-Bot's solutions combine robotics, 3D scanning, digital tools and AI, enabling contractors to: * identify the needs of each property; * automate repetitive tasks; * reach inaccessible areas; * track...

Q-Bot specialises in robotic services in the built environment, that allow easier, cheaper, safer and more effective repair, maintenance and upgrade of buildings and infrastructure. Q-Bot's Installation Partners will be the end user of the system providing robot enabled services, initially in the application of inspection and treatment of small voids with...

Q-Bot has developed the first affordable and fully accredited (BBA Certificate Number 17/5440i1) solution for the retrofit of insulation to suspended timber floors. The solution works by using a robot that can access the void via a vent or hatch and insulate the underside of suspended timber floors with minimal disruption. Q-Bot has had a number of patent...

The $10 trillion construction industry currently relies on manual, labour-intensive processes, has falling productivity and is slow to adopt new technologies. It has been severely affected by the Covid-19 crisis and its low rate of technology adoption is likely[][0] to greatly hinder the post-pandemic recovery. The repair and upgrade of existing buildings...

Q-Bot is the UK leader in applying robotics in construction and hazardous environments. Q-Bot's robotic system received BBA (British Board of Agrement) accreditation for an approved construction process in 2017, a first in the UK and, indeed, Europe. Q-Bot's robots are now used on projects across the UK making sites safer and more efficient. Q-Bot's visio...

Q-Bot will be the end user of the WormBot system providing robot enabled services, initially in the application of the underfloor insulation to buildings (at a fraction of th...

"One of the most pressing challenges when addressing Climate Change is the energy use of existing buildings. Effective insulation of the UK's hard to treat buildings is one of the great unresolved challenges. These properties tend to be the least frequently upgraded as current retrofit methods are often disruptive, labour intensive and cost prohibitive. I...

The UK spends over £30Bn per year on labour intensive construction processes, manually putting one brick on top of another, casting concrete in situ, plastering, rendering, carpentry, roofing or shaping and fixing pre made elements and façades to the building. Heavy dependence on labour and severe shortages of skilled workers not only increases the cost o...

Maintaining UK’s infrastructure is critical. Inspection and maintenance of underground assets is dangerous and fraught with difficulties. This infrastructure is aging and a large proportion of assets is unmapped or, at best, mapped by inaccurate, decades old blueprints. Physical access is restricted and dangerous, with a number of fatalities reported annu...
