Robotic assembly – mobile platform for construction field

Abstract

Construction sites often involve the manual transportation of heavy objects, posing risks to workers’ safety and efficiency. In this paper, it was proposed a design, development, and evaluation of a service robot specifically created for carrying heavy objects in the construction field. The robot is equipped with robust locomotion capabilities, intelligent perception systems, and efficient control mechanisms to navigate through complex environments and handle various types of loads. It was presented the technical design of the robot, including its hardware components, sensing modalities, and software architecture. Furthermore, it was discussed the experimental validation of the robot’s performance in real-world construction scenarios, highlighting its effectiveness in improving productivity, reducing labor costs, and enhancing workplace safety. Through this research, the aim is to demonstrate the potential of service robots as valuable assets in the construction industry, paving the way for future advancements in robotic assistance technologies.
