Diskussion University of Stuttgart receives funding for two research projects on autonomous construction robots
automate.orgTwo three-year research projects starting at the University of Stuttgart in November will explore how robot teams could assemble buildings.
SCALAR focuses on automated production and assembly of prefabricated timber modules. COBRAS will investigate swarms of small robots that coordinate without a central controller to assemble lightweight, reusable structures.
The disassembly side is interesting too: components could be taken apart and reused elsewhere instead of being demolished. These are upcoming research projects, so actual construction-site results are still to come.
