Robotic engineering has witnessed a remarkable surge in recent years, transforming industries across the globe. From manufacturing to healthcare, these intelligent machines are reshaping the way we work and live. One particularly promising area of application is the construction industry, where robots are poised to revolutionize the way buildings are designed, built, and maintained.

🤯 Everybody should know this...Robots Aren't Replacing All Bricklayers; Just The Ones We Can't Replace With Humans 🤯 Are robots the future of construction? 🤖 A Dutch company has developed an automated bricklaying machine, securing millions in funding. This innovation combines human expertise with robotic efficiency, aiming to address the construction industry's labour shortages and rising supply chain costs. Monumental's robots, equipped with sensors and cranes, can place bricks with precision, controlled by their AI-powered software, Atrium. Impressive! At Resi, we understand the challenges of the construction industry, especially the skills shortage in bricklaying. With our connect platform, ran by the formidable Olivia Cook and hosting over 100+ builders, we frequently hear concerns about filling these skills gaps. Monumental's technology could be a pivotal solution, enhancing not just efficiency on sites but also attracting new talent interested in cutting-edge technologies. Is this the innovation to bridge the gap in the skilled labour market? #Construction #Innovation #Robotics #Sustainability #FutureOfWork #Tech #Engineering #Architecture #Resi #NetZero

Robotics has the power to transform the construction industry and those working in it with superhuman strength. Globally, the sector is on the cusp of a robotics and AI revolution, and our Business Development Executive, Pete Felton, has authored an article drilling down into this subject for PBC Today & BIM Today   Pete’s article explores the latest developments in how robotic systems are improving processes in the construction sector. Pete talks about how the industry has evolved in the last 24 months, successfully automating repetitive and hazardous tasks, freeing up workers to focus on higher-value skilled labour and prioritising safety.   We at the #NationalRobotarium are continuing to work hand-in-glove with the industry to develop ground-breaking solutions that increase productivity, safety, skills development, and sustainability. We're also working closely with organisations such as Built Environment - Smarter Transformation (BE-ST) with the aim of fostering collaboration between multiple stakeholders in the public and private sectors.   Do you have an industry challenge that needs help?

Revolutionizing Construction with JAIBOT: The Future of #Automation and #Robotics in the Field 🏗🤖👷♀️ Meet the Hilti Group JAIBOT, a game-changing semi-automated construction robot. Designed for precise and efficient overhead installations, the JAIBOT leverages BIM technology to bring unparalleled accuracy to your job site. It was already presented about a year ago, but I will nevertheless leave some information about it: Key Benefits of JAIBOT: - BIM Integration: Seamlessly integrates digital planning with on-site execution. 📊 - Smart Drilling: Dust-free and precise drilling. 🌀 - Ceiling Mastery: Handles challenging overhead tasks effortlessly. 🔝 Top Features: - Up to 8 hours of cordless operation 🔋 - Integrated dust removal system 🧹 - User-friendly operation without the need for expert skills 🛠️ Boosting Productivity through Digitalization The JAIBOT combines BIM models with advanced robotics to automate and streamline your construction processes. It executes digital plans with high accuracy, improving both productivity and precision on the job site. How JAIBOT Works: 1. Upload project data to the Hilti Cloud. ☁️ 2. Import the digital drilling plan to the PLC 400 tablet. 📱 3. Reference the job site with the PLT 300 Totalstation. 🛰️ 4.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤? 🤖 🏗 Before diving deeply into this topic, I would like to raise some often-discussed points when integrating robotic systems for a construction task. Automation and robotics are seen as suitable solutions for addressing industry-wide challenges such as increasing labor costs, declining productivity, labor shortages, safety issues, and quality improvement. This is because robots can perform many functions that were once exclusive to humans. In many aspects, robots can outperform humans in terms of efficiency, endurance, precision, accuracy, and work quality. However, human performance can surpass robots in areas like decision-making, problem-solving, improvisation, and reasoning. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭. This decision is often motivated by financial benefits, safety, capability, and preference. Human workers face natural barriers like working hours, pressure, temperature, and emotional effects, which can negatively impact productivity. Automation technology can improve operational safety by removing humans from hazardous environments, especially those involving toxic chemicals and high risks of injury or fatality. Sometimes, automation is the only solution, such as for scientific expeditions exploring the deep sea or outer space. Conversely, there are tasks that both humans and robots can perform, such as lifting, cleaning, and delivering. We must determine which tasks are better suited for robots, which are better for humans, and where humans and robots can complement each other for optimal results. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Automation can be defined as a device or system that performs a function fully or partially, with or without human intervention. While work efficiency can be achieved through robots and automation processes, but higher levels of automation can be costly. Theoretically, most functions can be automated, but different levels of automation yield varying effectiveness and costs. It is challenging to compare costly solutions with more cost-effective ones in terms of reliability and performance. Next time, I will explain more about how to define the right degree and level of automation in the context of construction automation development. 🙌 #contractors #robots #innovation #renovation #constructiontechnology #futureconstruction #technology #tech #construction #manufacturing #constructionautomation #constructiontech #futureofwork #automation
