Construction Robotics at ERF 2018

Tother with our colleagues from the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics we are organizing the Construction Robotics topic group workshop at this years European Robotics Forum in Tampere.


Panelists from various backgrounds ranging from industry, end-users and research will discuss the hotspots within the construction sector that are most relevant for potential robotic solutions, in order to identify the main challenges (technological, societal, legal) and required developments/consolidations/adaptation/specialisation/combination of relevant technologies for this new domain. The panel discussion will merge into an open round table with the audience.

Date and Venue: 14.03.2018 08:30-10:00, Tampere Hall (to be confirmed)


Organisers

Cloud Robotics at Autodesk University 2017

Today the Chair of Individualized Production in architecture of RWTH Aachen University is presenting our recent research on the Forge Platform as one of the Autodesk Education Lighthouse accounts at AU Germany in Darmstadt.

Prof. Sigrid Brell-Cokcan is also introducing the German building industry to Construction Robotics at the Autodesk Construction Event 2017 and Sven Stumm will give some insights on our developements on Cloud Robotics at the Forge DevCon.

You can meet us and a KUKA KR3 in the Forge Lounge at the Autodesk University Germany at Darmstadt until Wednesday.

Robotic Construction at Robodonien 2017

A team from our chair, led by Pradeep Devadass has descended upon the Robodonien Festival in Cologne. Over three days they will be designing sculptural works with the visitors and turning them into reality with the help of a KUKA Agilus KR6. So come join the fun in Odonien between the 15th and 17th of September!

A big thank you to our partner KUKA for the fantastic support, our lovely hosts at Robodonien and our amazing student assistants Lukas Kirner, Tobias Heimig and Pascal Weiß!
