Analysis A Construction Robotics Summit Hit Its 150-Seat Capacity. Its Pitch Is That Demos Don't Count. Groundworks runs on 11 November at UCL Here East with a live demo floor — UCL, Hilti, Mechasys, Flo Mobility and Hyperion Robotics — and main-stage speakers the organisers place at Mace, VINCI, HS2, McKinsey and the UK Department for Business and Trade. The framing is the interesting part: the programme is built around whether a robot can be got onto a live site, not around whether it works. Hugo Pegley · Oct 29, 2026
