Robots will assist in constructing the skyscraper city "Mirror Line."
The strategic investment division of Saudi Arabia's territorial development agency, Neom, has made substantial investments in the European company GMT Robotics through the Neom Investment Fund (NIF). These investments focus on advanced robotics technology aimed at enhancing efficiency and expediting the construction of the "Mirror Line" skyscraper city and other megaprojects.

More detailed information about the types of robots being used or their functions is not yet disclosed, but it is clear that the primary focus will be on the production of rebar (reinforcing bars used in concrete structures). This makes perfect sense, as Neom consumes approximately 20% of the world's steel supply.
The advantages of using robotics in the construction sector are numerous. They include increased work efficiency, reduced operational costs, improved occupational health and safety, as well as optimized design flexibility.
