Abstract Augmented bricklaying explores the manual construction of intricate brickwork through visual augmentation, and applies validates concept in a real-scale building project—a fair-faced facade for winery Greece. As shown previous research, robotic systems have proven to be very suitable achieve various differentiated designs with high efficiency but show certain limitations, example, regard spatial freedom or usage mortar on site. Hence, this research aims that use craft-specific...
Despite the prevalent use of robotic technologies in industrial manufacturing, their on building construction sites is still very limited. This mainly due to unstructured nature and fact that structures built must be larger than machines which build them. paper addresses these difficulties by presenting a repositioning localization system which, using purely on-board sensing, allows mobile robot maintain high degree end-effector positioning accuracy while moving among numerous positions...
Building envelopes incorporate a multitude of functions, such as structure, room enclosure, insulation,and aesthetic appeal, typically resulting in multi-material layered constructions. With the technologyof additive manufacturing, geometrical freedom can instead be utilised to integrate functionalrequirements into mono-material building components. In this research, manufacturingmethod lightweight concrete extrusion and its potential for thermal performance via geometriccustomisation is...
Abstract In recent years, research in computational design and robotic fabrication architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) has made remarkable advances automating processes, both prefabrication in-situ fabrication. However, little been done on how to leverage human-in-the-loop processes for large-scale scenarios. such humans robots support each other operations that neither of them could handle alone, leading new opportunities the AEC domain. this paper, we present Tie a knot , an...
In this paper we present a system for the in situ 3 fabrication of full-scale, load-bearing, and doubly-curved steel reinforced concrete wall.Two complementary vision-based sensing systems provide feedback necessary to build 12 meter long wire mesh as part novel digital building process.The estimates robot pose, referenced CAD model site, well on accuracy built structure over course construction.This second piece information is used adapt plan compensate inaccuracies material deformations...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers transformative opportunities to create functionally hybridized, insulating, monolithic AM wall elements. The novel fabrication methods of allow for the production highly differentiated building components with intricate internal and external geometries, aiming reduced material use while integrating enhancing performance features including thermal insulation performance. This study focuses on such by leveraging individual three distinct processes: Selective...
Abstract Recent years have witnessed significant advances in computational design and robotic fabrication for large-scale manufacturing. Although these enhanced the speed, precision, reproducibility of digital processes, they often lack adaptability fail to integrate manual actions a model. Addressing this challenge, present study introduces cooperative augmented assembly (CAA), phone-based mobile Augmented Reality (AR) application that facilitates complex timber structures between humans...
Abstract Die Bauwirtschaft stellt eine der bislang am wenigsten digitalisierten Branche dar. Im Unterschied zu anderen Produktionsbereichen ist die Herstellung von Gebäuden durch individualisierte Bauprozesse gekennzeichnet. Digitale Fertigungstechniken anderer Wirtschaftszweige haben sich im Bauwesen nicht durchgesetzt, da sie notwendige Individualisierung ermöglichen oder unwirtschaftlich sind. Vorteile additiver Fertigungstechnologien bestehen darin, dass Automatisierung und Widerspruch...
Abstract The building industry is one of the least digitalized sectors global economy to date. Unlike other industrial sectors, manufacturing buildings characterized by traditional handicraft techniques and individualized construction processes. Digital production technologies from have not become established in because they do allow necessary individualization or are uneconomical transfer construction. advantages additive (AM) that automation contradictory. Furthermore, a new design...
In the context of dense urban environments and climate change, pedestrians’ thermal experience plays an increasingly significant role in people’s health well-being. this research, authors combine fields architecture, climate-responsive design, robotic fabrication with goal investigating strategies to improve outdoor comfort for pedestrians cities frequent extreme heat events. Based on a case study city Munich, paper presents findings into technological approaches methods location-specific...
Abstract. In contrast to stationary systems, mobile robots have an arbitrarily expandable workspace. As a result, the spatial dimensioning of task be mastered plays only subordinate role and can scaled as desired. For construction industry in particular, which requires handling production substantial components, mean unlimited expansion workspace based on their mobility levels thus increased flexibility. The greatest challenge robotics lies with discrepancy between precision required for...
