An Autonomous Vault-Building Robot System for Creating Spanning Structures
Nathan Melenbrink,Ariel Wang,Justin Werfel,Nathan Melenbrink,Ariel Wang,Justin Werfel
Research in autonomous robots for construction has largely focused on ground-based robots whose reach constrains the size of what they can build, or on climbing or aerial robots that build solid or unroofed structures. Autonomous construction of larger, multistory buildings, or bridges spanning unsupported distances, would require robots that build sturdy structures supporting their own weight. In...
