Robotic Total Station: Advancing Precision in Surveying and Construction
A robotic total station is an advanced surveying instrument that combines electronic distance measurement (EDM), angle measurement, and automated tracking technology. Designed for high-accuracy tasks in construction, civil engineering, and land surveying, it allows a single operator to perform complex measurements that once required a full team.
What Is a Robotic Total Station?
A robotic total station is essentially a motorized version of a traditional total station. It integrates a theodolite for measuring angles, an EDM for calculating distances, and a microprocessor for data recording. The “robotic” feature means the instrument can automatically follow a prism target, enabling remote operation through a controller or tablet.
