Zinova Announces Public Demo of Physical AI for Construction

leaderobot.com reported on September 15, 2026, that Zinova, spun off from RIC Robotics, held a public demonstration of construction robots that use tools.

What happened

According to the article, Zinova demonstrated an approach that combines grippers for holding tools with force sensors, rather than dexterous humanoid hands. In the demonstration, LimX Dynamics’ TRON 2 dual-arm robot reportedly secured lumber, drilled holes, installed rebar and smoothed concrete.
