Humanoid construction robot installs drywall by itself

October 1, 2018 engadget Leave a Comment

The design doesn't have as much freedom of movement as a human being, but makes up for that with numerous joints that flex to degrees you wouldn't see in real people. It won't always look the most natural when doing its job, but it'll be effective. It can also correct for slips, and it's not deterred when it has a limited field of view.AIST's robot is methodical, but you can't call it quick given its tendency to take baby steps and otherwise act cautiously. The potential is huge, however. In addition to typical building construction work, robots like this could also help assemble aircraft and ships. The team is aiming for collaboration with private companies that would treat HRP-5P as a development "platform" that could lead to further breakthroughs.However, the machine also fits into a familiar pattern for Japan: its determination to address population shortfalls through technology instead of immigration. AIST is quick to declare that robots like HRP-5P are meant to tackle the "manual … [Read more...] about Humanoid construction robot installs drywall by itself

SoftBank-backed construction startup Katerra to open a California factory

July 12, 2018 venturebeat Leave a Comment

Katerra, a self-described end-to-end provider of building services valued at over $3 billion, announced today that it’s opening a new advanced manufacturing factory in Tracy, California. Set to begin production in 2019, Katerra expects to employ 500 people at the factory. Founded in 2015, Menlo Park-based Katerra most recently raised an $865 million new round of financing in January, led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund. Other investors include Foxconn and DFJ. The company’s goal is to make the building construction process cheaper and more efficient by handling everything from the architectural design of the building to the construction of walls to the installation of appliances itself, cutting out the need for subcontractors. And in order to fulfill this vision, Katerra needs its own domestic factories. In addition to the soon-to-be opened Tracy factory, Katerra also has a factory in Phoenix, which employs 300 people. Katerra also announced in September that it … [Read more...] about SoftBank-backed construction startup Katerra to open a California factory

Building With Bottles

May 8, 2018 pddnet Leave a Comment

Powerful hurricanes and earthquakes have wreaked havoc in the United States and around the world in recent years, often leaving people stranded for months and even years without access to water, food, and shelter. A unique collaborative project at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute seeks to provide a sustainable solution, while also considering the environment. After a disaster strikes, first responders and other aid organizations mobilize to send needed supplies such as water, food, and medicine. Bottled water is sent by the tons, but all too often, the empty plastic bottles end up in the trash stream. The goal of the project is to re-use the empty bottles to construct and structurally test different structural components (walls, columns, and roofs) and then design and build a prototype for emergency shelters for displaced populations under conditions of distress. The structure will be approximately 15 square meters in size and will be erected on campus in front of the Greene Building … [Read more...] about Building With Bottles
