MeisterMotion · by Zimmerei & Metallbau Stein, Cologne

Real craft.
Recorded for robots.

Timber, steel, concrete. We film carpentry, metalwork and formwork tasks the way a master craftsman does them — real tools, real materials, real job sites. Demonstration data for teams training robots, including humanoids — for construction, workshop and assembly work, and every task that needs real tools.

See the quality first.

A 1:5 roof model assembled by a master carpenter — recorded the same way we record full-scale work.

What we offer.

Recordings of real craft tasks — booked as a project or captured during ongoing jobs. Scope and pricing on request.

// Single task

One task, many repetitions

For example fitting a joist hanger: about 20 repetitions with deliberate variations.

// Task package

Carpentry basics

Marking out, sawing, drilling, screwing, fitting connectors.

// On site

Job-site recordings

Normal work on real jobs, reviewed and approved by us before delivery.

// Welding

MAG, MIG, TIG and stick

On mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium — with weld parameters per seam and a filtered view of the weld pool.

// Drilling & assembly

Drill, anchor, fasten

Overhead drilling and anchoring in timber, steel and concrete. Aligning, inserting and fastening panels and parts.

// Support work

Helper tasks

Preparing tools, carrying and sorting material, clearing the workspace — or any task you name.

Also on request Formwork building and tying rebar cages — recorded in our workshop, small elements also outdoors. Not part of the construction services we sell, but done by a master carpenter: formwork is part of the German carpenter's training, and we have built it on real jobs.
Beyond construction The skills in our recordings transfer to many fields: tool use with both hands, measuring and marking, drilling, screwing, nailing and hammering, welding, aligning and fitting parts, handling long and heavy material, correcting mistakes. Useful for factory assembly, furniture and interior fitting, steel and shipbuilding, solar and building services installation, maintenance and repair — and household robots that need to use real tools.
Why us Most demonstration data comes from labs and homes. Ours comes from a master craftsman with real tools on real timber, steel and formwork — dust, tolerances and improvisation included. Optional: drone 3D scans and drawings of the parts. Consent and usage rights are agreed in writing, under EU rules.

Steel and timber in the same workshop.

Certified fabrication and assembly of metal structures — planned, welded and installed by the same team that does the timber work.

// Stairs

Steel stairs & railings

Made to measure, galvanised or powder-coated, indoors and out.

// Hybrid

Timber-steel structures

Where timber alone is not enough — load-bearing connections from one team.

// Custom

Custom metal builds

Canopies, fences and structures from drawings or site surveys.
