Robot cranes will help to build Google's sprawling new Mountain View campus.
The hybrids - known as crabots - will be used to lift and shift the pre-fabricated components inside the structure.
The construction plans were reported in the UK publication Architects Journal, which has seen the detailed planning documents drawn up by the search engine giant.
The unique structure will be covered by a massive see-through canopy, with highly customisable spaces underneath it with room for around 20,000 employees.
The crabots will be able to move freely underneath the canopy as they go about their duties.
It seems like a logical step for Google to use robots - it is one of the pioneers of self-driving car technology.
In late 2013, Google bought Boston Dynamics, a robotics company that is known for building four-legged and bipedal robots.
There were due to be four sections to Google's development, but local politicians in San Francisco gave fellow tech giant LinkedIn rights to submit plans for 1.4 million square feet of the 2.2 million available in the area.
This leaves Google with just 515,000 square feet, about enough for just one of the four buildings originally proposed.
