Blattner and Built Robotics Partner to Enhance Solar Construction Safety

Sep 10, 2025
Blattner and Built Robotics have announced a three-year agreement to deploy AI-powered robots on solar projects across the U.S., aiming to improve safety and efficiency.

Blattner and Built Robotics have announced a three-year agreement to enhance safety in solar construction projects across the United States. Announced in a press release, the partnership will see the deployment of dozens of Built's AI-powered robots to assist with tasks such as pile driving, surveying, material handling, drilling, and trenching.

The initiative aims to improve worker safety and operational efficiency while meeting the growing demand for clean energy. Built's robots, managed by trained operators at a safe distance, are designed to reduce the risk of injuries on-site. The robots feature an 8-Layer Safety System, including AI-powered personnel detection and geofence barriers, which has maintained a 100% success rate in preventing injuries.

This collaboration builds on previous successful projects between the two companies, leveraging Blattner's extensive experience in renewable energy construction and Built's advanced automation technology. The partnership underscores a commitment to creating safer and more efficient solar construction environments.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
