Robotic Total Stations (RTSs) are advanced surveying instruments that integrate traditional total station capabilities with automated, remote, and precision technologies.

Key Features:

Automated Target Tracking: Eliminates the need for a second surveyor to manually align the instrument, reducing labor and increasing efficiency.
One-Person Operation: Reduces staffing requirements while maintaining speed and accuracy.
High Accuracy: Provides millimeter-level distance measurements using advanced electronic distance measurement (EDM) technology.
Compatibility with GNSS: Combines the strengths of both systems for increased efficiency and precision in challenging environments.
Enhanced Safety: Improves safety on construction sites and in hazardous terrains.

Common Applications:

Construction: Track deformation in real-time for structures under construction, especially bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls.
Surveying: Measure and map legal property boundaries with high precision.
Infrastructure Development: Monitor alignment, elevation, and curvature during construction.
Mining and Quarrying: Create accurate volume calculations for ore extraction.
Forensics and Accident Reconstruction: Measure and map accident or crime scenes for legal and forensic purposes.
