Digitizing construction sites with Scaled Robotics

Ғылым және технология

Barcelona-based Scaled Robotics built a Wall-E doppelgänger to navigate around and build maps of construction sites by fusing images, video, and data captured by its robots.

    There’s not a lack of workers there’s a communication gap through different professions not fully understanding how things operate. These things are tools for the situation , materials being made in a good standard quality and taking the time to explain while staying on schedule. Some professions don’t understand other professions from non experience in the field. Which is normal because every site is a learning process.

    This robot doesn't have any AI systems. It uses ether Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) or Structure from motion (SFM) to draw a map of the environment but its 100% remote controlled. No need for AI.

    I'm late, and no one will see this, but couldn't this (or spot mini) be used by architectural or structural engineers to ensure buildings are safer from earthquakes, etc? It's all dependent on the needs and applications of the robot, site workers, and contractors, but designs like this could actually help. Or be weaponized, but hey, things will still be more efficient. (Looking at you, DARPA)

    Eugene S Actually Eugene, you are the disingenuous one if you cannot admit that robots like this are changing the world. He was not using the “two meter stick” story as a justification for the robot’s price. He was simply giving an example of a practical task that can be accomplished by the robot. There will be countless human jobs replaced in the next 20 years. This is just one of many examples.

    ​@@topcomment3816 Give me a single example, of a real robot doing this in the wild. What's possible in the lab is not the same as what's possible in the field. I didn't say they weren't changing the world, I said that they're 5 years away at minimum. The best walkers we currently have are at Boston Dynamics, they're not reliable enough to be sent out in the field. They're planning on selling the SpotMini this year, but it's expected to be around 100k. All it can really do is walk around. The customers have to come up with their own software to do anything useful with them since it's just a walking platform. This is the state of the art at the moment, just smarter Aibos..... Toys. Again, it's all possible, just 5-10years from now, today, we're still working on teaching robots to see and understand the world.
