Collaborative Autonomous Multi-Purpose Construction Robot System

Collaborative Autonomous Multi-Purpose Construction Robot System

This technology provides a two-stage collaborative construction automation system in which an autonomous transport robot loads and supplies flooring materials, which are then received and installed onto the floor surface by a connected autonomous work robot.

Existing construction robots are limited to specific tasks, resulting in low versatility. Furthermore, because a single robot performs both transport and installation, work efficiency is reduced, and the lack of sensors for floor construction limits practical on-site application.

This technology features two robots connected by a coupling link that synchronize supply height and installation tasks through communication. It is equipped with sensor modules for autonomous navigation, motion control, and floor inspection, enabling autonomous driving and the alignment/inspection of flooring materials. Applicable to logistics, service robotics, and autonomous platforms, this system automates and robotizes construction processes, reducing manual labor and potential hazards while improving productivity and safety in the construction sector.

Key Features:

• A first mobile platform equipped with a storage bin that holds flooring materials spaced at equal intervals using guide pieces.
• A material supply mechanism installed on the first mobile platform that accesses each layer of flooring material and pushes them out one by one.
• A second mobile platform connected to the first mobile platform via a coupling link, which tows the transport robot from the front.
• A gripper module installed on the second mobile platform that receives the supplied flooring materials and installs them on-site.
