Abstract:

This paper presents the prototype realisation of a mobile bricklaying robot designed for use on the construction site and controlled by a skilled operator. The complete working process of automated masonry construction is described from the beginning of the brickwork planning based on the layout of the architect up to the robotic on-site construction of masonry. In particular the generation of the manufacturing data for the robot as well as necessary man-machine-interactions on the construction site are described in detail. First results using the robot for masonry construction are shown at the end of the paper.
