Development of Robotic Capabilities for the Fabrication of Bio-Based Building Components

Project description:

RoBIM Technologies Inc. is developing comprehensive robotic fabrication processes for a wide variety of construction components. To achieve the goal of bridging the gap between novel robotics technologies and conventional construction methods, this project encompasses developing robotic capabilities tailored to fabrication processes for bio-based building components. In particular, this project is targeting robot capabilities that are proficient in handling, processing and assembly of bio-based materials such as wood which is the primary material in building construction. It is expected that at least eleven new robotic capabilities, each with newly developed or improved end-effectors, will be developed within the scope of this project. Along with the benefits of making the construction industry more competitive, this project will generate greater demands for biomaterials for a growing market.
