BAUMA 2025 was an absolute highlight for us! We had great conversations, incredibly positive feedback on our compact devices, and an incredible amount of fun participating at BAUMA for the first time.
The trade fair once again demonstrated the major challenges facing the construction industry. Climate change, increasing urbanization, and demographic change pose enormous challenges, particularly in the area of infrastructure.

In our presentation at BAUMA, we highlighted three key global developments:
Climate change: Traditional construction methods cause significant greenhouse gas emissions and are a burden on the environment and climate.
Urbanization: Increasingly dense cities can no longer be burdened by traditional open construction methods, as they severely impact traffic, trade and quality of life.
Demographic change: By the next decade, approximately 40% of construction workers worldwide will retire, creating a massive shortage of skilled workers.
At the same time, the market for trenchless construction methods is growing enormously: In 2023, the market volume already reached $4.4 billion – and by 2030, it is expected to exceed $7.5 billion , representing annual growth of over 7% . It's clear: innovative solutions are in demand.

Our solutions: BOB and BUDDEL
Stern Technic presented two revolutionary solutions at BAUMA:
BOB – The autonomous drilling robot:
BOB is a patented, electrically powered, autonomous drilling robot that combines advanced sensors, electric propulsion, and machine learning. It enables precise, low-emission, and virtually silent drilling, ideal for urban or environmentally sensitive areas. Through autonomous navigation and AI-powered real-time analytics, BOB is revolutionizing the efficiency and environmental impact of trenchless infrastructure projects.

BUDDEL – compact, powerful and flexible:
BUDDEL utilizes innovative electro-pneumatic technology and pneumatic muscle. This compact system delivers tremendous power with a small footprint, making it perfect for fast, flexible deployments in tight urban spaces.

Why trenchless construction 5.0?
Compared to traditional open construction methods, which place a heavy burden on the environment and urban life, and conventional trenchless techniques, which often require manual monitoring, BOB and BUDDEL offer decisive advantages:
🚧 Minimal disruption: Less interference with city traffic and the environment.
🎯 High precision: Autonomous and AI-supported work ensures maximum accuracy.
🌱 Environmentally friendly: Virtually emission-free and low-noise technologies.
⚡️ Fast & efficient: Significantly reduced project times and higher profitability.
Our vision of Trenchless Construction 5.0 combines complete autonomy and advanced machine learning. Real-time data is intelligently analyzed, risks are reduced, and resource consumption and emissions are significantly minimized. This enables not only more efficient but also more sustainable infrastructure development.
Starting into the future together
At Stern Technic, we continue to seek visionary partners, investors, and industry experts who want to join us in realizing this transformative vision. Together, we can create a smarter, greener, and more sustainable infrastructure for future generations.
Do you want to be part of this future?
We look forward to your ideas and joint projects!
