Development of a Modular End Effector for the installation of Curtain Walls with cable-robots

BIM-based task and motion planning prototype for robotic assembly of COVID-19 hospitalisation light weight structures

“…In the literature, empirical evidence has been provided that the use of robotic technologies has the potential to replace human labour and alleviate the impact of lockdown restrictions on the construction progress [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. The evidences are from industry survey [ 12 ], systematic review [ [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ], mechanical design [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ], prototype and methodology development [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [21] , [22] , [23] ], algorithmic design [ 18 , 19 ], and commentary [ 8 , 24 , 25 ]. In these literature, the studies by Terada and Murata [ 8 ], Willmann et al [ 9 ], Ding et al [ 10 ], and King et al [ 11 ] are found to have a similar scientific focus to this research—utilising robots to assemble prefabricated building components.…”
