Functional Profile of a Wall Assembly Robot System and Different Solution Approaches

The presented robotic system is based on the idea of Computer Integrated Construction (CIC). This means the integration of all trades and processes from architectural planning to execution of construction work. It contains computer aided design and computer aided generation of robot programs, custom made prefabrication of small building components including logistics planning and roboterized wall assembly on the site. Within the framework of the presented project a handling system adapted to the construction-site environment is to be developed and realized. It enables with an autonomous vehicle and suitable grippers and sensors flexible masonry assembly and improves working conditions and safety on the construction-site. Parallel to the machine development, the information integration as well as the planning of the required logistics and construction-site organization is to be studied, developed and implemented.
