6 Robots That Could Change the Face of Construction

As construction starts to embrace new technology, so the robotics industry is starting to create alternatives to manual labour.
Boosted by advances in sensors and artificial intelligence, a new generation of machines is automating a tech-averse industry.
While still in its infancy, some construction robots are now either already commercially available, or nearing the point where they could be sold or rented to contractors.
Here are six robots that have already been developed for the construction industry.

● 1. Baubot 3D Printing Robot is a Construction Site’s New Helper
Printstones, an Austria-based manufacturer of mobile 3D printing robots for the construction sector, has announced the launch of its latest manufacturing robot.
The Baubot is characterized by its modular design, meaning it allows for third-party customer modifications with ease. Described as a ‘multi-functional construction robot’, the rover-esque device goes beyond just concrete 3D printing, and is capable of a whole host of flexible manufacturing operations such as material transportation, welding, milling, screwdriving, plasma cutting, painting, and even brick laying.

● 2. OKIBO is developing mobile, multi-purpose, autonomous robots for use in construction sites.
Construction tech start-up Okibo has developed what it claims is the world’s first autonomous plastering and painting robot. Its maker claims that it can cross the rough terrain of a typical construction site and uses 3D scanning to map its environment without any prior information. A robotic arm has floor-to-ceiling reach. No manual programming is required.
The robot is designed for the harsh conditions of a construction site. It has 3D scanning capabilities (2-3 mm accuracy), computer vision, floor to ceiling reach, autonomous movement and an agile industrial robotic arm.

● 3. Hilti JAIBOT - Drilling robot with greater speed, accuracy and safety
A semi-automated drilling technology, the Hilti Jaibot is a robot that helps add more productivity to your installation projects. This innovative construction robot takes over installation execution, while allowing you to track project progress and status through data. Using digital plans, the Jaibot marks and drills holes, relieving construction workers from the strenuous task of overhead drilling and allowing them to focus on operation of the construction robot.

● 4. Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter automates building layout
Dusty Robotics accelerates the construction industry's digital transformation by providing robotic automation services for the job site.
FieldPrinter is a mobile robot that prints layout plans directly onto the floors of job sites. The robot uses layout plans that were created using building information modeling (BIM) software.
Dusty Robotics is planning a wide-scale commercial launch of FieldPrinter in early 2020. It will be available as a robot-as-a-service (RaaS) model, with pricing based on the scope of the project.

● 5. ULC Robotics, SGN to develop all-electric excavation robot
A collaboration between ULC Robotics and SGN, one of the largest gas network companies in the U.K., has reached the halfway point in a project looking to create an autonomous robotic system that can be used for roadway excavation projects within the utilities sector.
The Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System (RRES) project, which began in early 2018, combines a powerful industrial robot, an all-electric track drive system, below-ground locating sensors, artificial intelligence, machine vision, and new vacuum excavation methods for safer, faster autonomous road work projects.

● 6. Built Robotics - AI Based Autonomous Construction Equipment
Built Robotics is an industrial automation company that designs to make autonomous construction equipment. They also allow one equipment operator to oversee a fleet of vehicles working autonomously in parallel. It combines sensors such as GPS, cameras, and lidar with advanced software, and the systems can be installed on standard equipment from any manufacturer.

Work from home soon on the building arena. One worker needed to operate 100 of them and 50 men can be redundant. Fabulous.

[@pitufo7240]

Apliquenlo a la agritectura, arquitectura sustentable, techos muros verdes, etc.

[@AleksandrVasilenko93]

Here is an idea for some innovative start up out there: automated pothole filler. Once an exact accurate GPS coordinates are given of a pothole it will fly or drive a pothole filling robot, it will fill enough asphalt to fill it, spread it out to be even, and compact it, than leave. Ideally done during night. No human involvement.

[@orrblue2]

May I ask how you found all these companies in the robot-assisted construction industry?

[@williamhuang5329]

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , over 30 years experience , robot gear reducer,

[@AleksandrVasilenko93]

Dusty sounds really interesting.

[@issac7787]

Technology has came a long way since.

[@godbluffvdgg]

As the owner of a construction company, since the 80's, I can see many applications where these robots could be used...Primarily large site, operations...Seeing the depletion of the labor market over the last 2 decades, it's good to see science finding alternatives...Maybe in a hundred years; the tech will be equivalent to good old manpower...So the residential/small commercial contractors can take advantage of the tech..They still look so primitive to me, compared to how we thought they'd become during the 60's and 70's...

[@artor9175]

The first clip is entirely accurate to just how shitty Jedi are at their job. The second one is cool, but it can't possibly be cheaper or faster than just hiring a moderately skilled human crew. The painterbot is leaving obvious bare spots by the door trim, even in the demo intended to show how awesome it is. The Hilti bot, I don't have anything negative to say about it, except to question the expense vs value. The Dusty Robotics layout bot seems pretty cool, but it's intended to address "skilled labor shortages." There is no such shortage, just a lot of companies who refuse to pay a living wage to skilled workers. Same issue with the roadwork bot that follows it, and the robotic backhoes after that.

[@joesimoneau8872]

God, thank you for pulling out how obvious these robots suck at their construction work. With no way in hell that at this level is a robot match the millions of tedious little things you gotta do when doing construction work. All these robots put together couldn’t match the skill of one highly trained human. These robots are slow end fucking retartred!

[@titusphilip1310441]

This make sense to me. why we humans need to risk our life and limb working under sweltering heat Dan dangerous rain with lightening. Why not using robots in construction doing projects we wanted without any injuries and accidents? All we need is completion of the projects right?

[@googleyoutubechannel8554]

I would like a 1million plasma robot I could frustratingly control from my phone I would drive around to do everything far slower and less expertly while I struggle with it's controls. That would be amazing.

[@테스트유튜브배우-x5c]

지금도 기계가 다 할수있고, 기계가 다 완성이 됐는데, 기계를 도입하면 고용률이 떨어지고, 실업률이 증가하니까, 이걸 막고있는거아냐, 참 이상한 세상이야.

[@lionel9038]

Why "Baubot"? Is it German?

[@mariapalavranoff4015]

Very nice 😂😂😂

[@chrisclarke7828]

Pity they never changed the faces of youtube clickbaiters.................................i could.

[@marty639]

Help me i cant do my job! Builds robot

[@angel_I_s]

Aspirational BS. designers dream all you like. Putting this on a building site would make a workers day a useless, timeconsuming nightmare. (AND THE WORK WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE DONE.

[@privatesector0422]

Why the clickbait?

[@MrGoddio]

nah he's right

[@expatxile]

We could do without the cringe intro.
