Abstract: In this paper is presented a mobile robot for the buildings construction, which, endowed with gripping and adequate tools, can carry out operations of handling, masonry or finishing in the construction industries. The robot has in its componence the following mechanisms:
  • mechanism of orientation with 2 DOF's (2 R);
  • mechanism of positioning with 3 DOF's (2 TR);
  • mechanism of displacement with 1 DOF's (R);
  • steering mechanism with 1 DOF (T).

A mechanism of orientation by horizontal locus is added and ensures, before beginning work in a given position, orientation of the robot's platform in horizontal position. The orientation is made using 4 devices to fix with mechanical action, which have also the role to support the robot during work. The orientation is not made in a robotized mode, but in an automated mode, using an inclinometer to measure the slope according to two axes.
