A remote adapter for use with a lineman's hot stick that enables the lineman to mount a wide variety of power tools onto the far end of the hot stick for tasks involving high voltage equipment. The remote adapter allows the power tool to be actuated by pulling on an insulating pull-rope. The remote adapter includes a body for supporting the power tool, the body including: at least one slot for receiving at least one strap configured to strap the power tool to the body, at least one pivot hole for receiving a pivot pin, and a splined universal connector for attachment to a hot stick. The remote adapter also includes a lever arm that is pivotable with respect to the body. The lever arm includes a hole for receiving a trigger pin which actuates the power tool trigger when the insulating rope attached to an attachment feature is pulled.

A tool holder comprises a cage assembly having a pair of axially spaced hollow members with axially aligned through openings sized for axial extension of tool handles of different sizes and shapes through both of the aligned openings. A cradle member is transversely movable in opposite directions between the hollow members toward and away from respective inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members for releasably clamping tool handles extending through both aligned openings against the inwardly facing wall surfaces.

Apparatuses for holding a tool used for performing a task and methods for performing a task are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a movable base that is configured to move along a floor surface. A multi-axis arm is coupled to the movable base and is configured to pivotally move in multiple directions. A holding member is coupled to the multi-axis arm and is configured to hold the tool in a position and while moving the tool by moving the movable base and/or pivotally moving the multi-axis arm.

A construction robot for a ceiling is provided. The construction robot includes: a robot base having an upper plate; a targeting unit on the upper plate, wherein the targeting unit moves a robotic arm assembly combined with the targeting unit, and wherein the robotic arm assembly includes: a first robotic arm where a drill is mounted, wherein a first elevating unit of the first robotic arm is elevated or lowered according to information on the ceiling, a second robotic arm where an anchor bolt inserting equipment is mounted, wherein a second elevating unit of the second robotic arm is elevated or lowered according to the information, and a third robotic arm where an impact wrench is mounted, wherein a third elevating unit of the third robotic arm is elevated or lowered likewise; and a loading unit on the upper plate or the targeting unit for providing anchor bolt assemblies.

A tool guide has a holder, a lifting mechanism and a chassis. The holder is for fixing a portable power tool, and is mounted on the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism has a propulsion system for vertically raising the holder. The chassis has two wheels on a wheel axis, a drive which is coupled to the wheels, and a steering system. The lifting mechanism is rigidly mounted on the chassis. A center of gravity sensor is designed for detecting a lateral deflection x of the center of gravity G of the lifting mechanism in relation to the wheel axis. The steering system is designed to actuate the drive to output a torque which counteracts the deflection x. The lifting mechanism can be pivoted by means of a pivot drive. An inclination controller is designed to actuate the pivot drive in such a way that the inclination is minimized.

A smart drilling system that includes a controller, a drilling machine with an optical marker, and a tracker station at a fixed spot of a construction site. The drilling machine includes an optical marker. The tracker station acquires the location of the drilling machine and its drill through tracking the optical marker. The drilling machine is moved into positions of multiple different work regions. The tracker station sequentially acquires the location of the multiple different work regions and transmits the acquired location information to the controller, such that, by using the transmitted locations, the controller converts drilling machine coordinates into desired perforation coordinates and recognizes an orientation of the drilling machine. The controller also recognizes a perforable point at a current position of the drilling machine through the location information of the drilling machine.

A robotic drilling apparatus is described which has been adapted for drilling holes in ceilings and walls on a construction site. The apparatus (100) comprises a robotic arm (110) mounted to a substructure (112), the substructure comprising a lifting mechanism arranged to lift the robotic arm to a working position, wherein the robotic arm has a base end (110a) and a movable end (110b), the base end being mounted to an upper surface (114) of the lifting mechanism and the movable end being capable of movement with respect to the base end in a three dimensional space, wherein the robotic drilling apparatus further comprises a mount (120) provided on the movable end for holding a drilling device (122) and a control unit (134) for controlling the operation of the robotic arm. The lifting mechanism preferably comprises a scissor-jack lifting platform. The robotic arm (110) and any support structure (134) for the robotic arm weighs less than 43 kg, and preferably individually weigh less than 23 kg.

A construction site box for providing tools, power tools, power tool parts and/or consumables on a construction site, in particular on a building construction site or on a civil engineering construction site, is provided. The construction site box comprises at least one holder for holding a tool, a power tool, a power tool part and/or a consumable, a mobile transporting platform for transporting the construction site box and a motor for driving the transporting platform and enables a user of the construction site box to work on a construction site particularly efficiently and while safeguarding health.
