ABSTRACT
Building upon the initial research that Gramazio Kohler Research developed with Stratifications, they have created robotic programs which can adjust based on environmental scanned information delivered to the robot system before each motion. This example uses an ABB robotic arm mounted to a mobile tread system with deployable outriggers for stability. The system is compact enough to fit through a typical doorway and was outfitted with universal vacuum grippers and vacuum system to supply them with pressure. By deploying a mobile robotic arm the system is able to adapt to a variety of construction processes and methods unlike traditional construction tools, which have specific tasks-back hoes and cranes. The possibilities to control multiple robots, with a single operating system, allow for complex tasks to be completed more quickly. As each layer is modeled the user must perform a similar set of tasks to the robot analyzing the height for each block.
