At the recently concluded 3rd National Construction Robot Competition themed "Intelligent Construction · Smart Future", ORCAS Robots stood out from numerous competitors by driving innovations in the floor grinding industry and refining its products to perfection, winning three prestigious awards: Most Innovative Award, Best Practicality Award, and Creative Design Competition Award.
As a major event in China’s construction robot sector, the competition emphasizes product adaptability to real construction scenarios, industry-disruptive technological breakthroughs, and contributions to the development of construction industrialization. Foshan ORCAS Robot Co., Ltd., a globally leading brand of floor grinding robots, participated with two models: Pioneer 860 and Hero 900. With technological design and practical performance far exceeding industry standards, ORCAS impressed the judges with new possibilities for intelligent floor construction and ultimately outperformed many competing products.
ORCAS’s awards reflect not mere technological stacking, but a thorough reconstruction of traditional floor construction methods, addressing long-standing industry pain points at their root.
Most Innovative Award:Pioneer 860 Floor Grinding Robot
The Pioneer 860 floor grinding robot achieves over 22 hours of automatic operation per day, fundamentally resolving pain points in traditional floor grinding.
In conventional construction, manual path planning is subjective and inconsistent, often causing significant deviations in surface flatness — a key constraint on construction quality. Equipped with a high-precision 3D LiDAR as its core innovation, the Pioneer 860 transitions from "labor-dependent" to "intelligent autonomous" operation. It automatically creates a 3D map of the work area, intelligently plans the optimal grinding route based on precise data, and conducts fully autonomous grinding through its automated system, with no need for continuous manual supervision.
According to real customer feedback, a 15,000 ㎡ cured flooring project was completed in just 12 days using 4 workers, 2 Pioneer 860 units, and 1 remote-controlled grinder. The efficiency improvement brought by ORCAS ROBOT floor grinding robots is remarkable.
Its innovative design eliminates errors from manual planning, ensures uniform floor flatness, greatly reduces labor costs, and significantly boosts construction efficiency. This combination of technological innovation and practical application value earned it the Most Innovative Award.
Best Practicality Award & Creative Design Competition Award:Hero 900 Floor Grinding Robot
Designed around the core concept of "Greener Construction", the Hero 900 floor grinding robot directly solves the industry’s critical problem of heavy dust pollution and has been widely applied in key projects both domestically and overseas.
Built with a high-efficiency dust collection system, the Hero 900 enables
simultaneous grinding and dust extraction, resulting in dust-free construction. This effectively protects workers’ health and reduces the risk of dust-related occupational diseases — the key strength behind its
Best Practicality Award.

In addition, the Hero 900 is equipped with 3D LiDAR and supports automated functions including automatic grinding, self-adjusting grinding head lifting, and automatic cable winding and unwinding. These features greatly reduce manual intervention, improve construction efficiency and grinding precision, and earned the machine the Creative Design Competition Award for its innovative details. It fully balances environmental protection, practicality, and technological innovation.
A Promising Future: Driving Intelligent Construction to Greater Depths
Behind every award lies ORCAS ROBOT’ deep insight into and long-term commitment to solving construction industry pain points — from dusty job sites to workers’ high-intensity repetitive tasks. ORCAS ROBOT consistently captures industry needs from an on-the-ground perspective. Every robot is developed based on real construction site feedback, with the ultimate goal of overcoming industry challenges: unstable quality, limited efficiency, high costs, and safety hazards. ORCAS ROBOT turns intelligence into tangible, perceptible value.
Looking ahead, ORCAS ROBOT will continue to take innovation as its core driving force. It will further enhance the scene adaptability of existing products while accelerating expansion into new tracks of intelligent construction. ORCAS ROBOT is committed to helping more construction teams move beyond traditional working methods, jointly creating a new era of human-machine collaboration that is efficient and safe, and bringing the benefits of intelligent construction to every corner of the construction industry.
