Better Faster Stronger
Synthesizing AI and Robotics to Redefine the Future of Construction
Utilizing customized artificial intelligence, we create smart infrastructural geometries using material only where needed. This means less waste and less cost in construction. Inspired by natures mantra to do more with less, we have found new ways to engineer and solve global problems.
A New Paradigm for How we Build
Pulling the infrastructure industry into the 21st century, this company integrates robotics, 3d printing and artificial intelligence to produce address the tremendous demand for rapid repair and replacement of the world's aging bridges.

Beyond conventional practices and 3d printing we offer a smarter and more sustainable way forward
The demand for novel innovations in the AEC industry is growing. Our solutions offer new sustainable models for a way forward into a brighter future. By leveraging AI to find optimized structures and integrated with robotic manufacturing producing automated and localized construction, we are able to present solutions which are not only environmentally progressive but also economically essential. The system reduces carbon footprints by using less material, with better performance, while integrating new material behaviors to further responsible climate action. The small cell robotics further allows for the distribution of construction while reducing transportation costs. The integration of AI and digital twin modelling presents to opportunity for comprehensive predictive modeling of the lifespan of the bridge, while integrated sensors allow for the updating and refinement of said predications for real-time feedback and safety.

Proven Materials,
Novel Geometries
Concrete has proven it's value as the predominant structural material across the globe. However, Fabrication processes and geometric configurations have grown stagnant. In the age of AI and robotic manufacture we present a new way forward, using less, smarter material in more intelligent ways, producing resilient structures which are highly-tuned to their precise requirements
Bio-Inspired Design
Our algorithms draw upon natural systems for inspiration in form finding. Leveraging cellular structures and their inherent efficiencies, we are able to create optimal structures which are adaptable to a vast range of structural problems.

WHY BIA ROBOTICS
Technology is the answer, but what was the question?
-Cedric Price
Our solution to the dramatic infrastructural deficit starts by evaluating the vast array of shortcomings presented by conventional manufacturing processes. Designing the AI to determine unique site-specific optimized results and programming the robotics to execute these solutions with millimeter scale precision ensures a true disruption within an antiquated field.
