Abstract:

This paper describes the characteristics of a newly developed concrete screeding robot and the results of fundamental experiments conducted. There were four principal aims of this development: 1) to improve on screeding working conditions over conventional methods; 2) to increase productivity; 3) to assure the quality of concrete floors; and 4) to establish a system of concrete work capable of being performed by robots. The concrete screeding robot consists of a screeding component, a travelling component, and a controller. The robot travels on reinforced steel bars and screeds the concrete surface using a screeding device which receives a laser beam emitted from a rotating laser transmitter. The concrete screeding robot is expected to increase the productivity of concrete floor work in combination with the concrete floor finishing robot to be further developed in the future.
