Robot that digitizes the construction process of the work
I think Tham construction works that will be executed in 15 years, they will not be anything like the ones we are currently treading every day.
Every day a new one surprises us technological innovation, which more or less useful, verifies that radical changes are going to take place in the traditional concept of work that any surveyor or architect knows.
Recently, we already talked about a robot that walks through the works at night detecting the errors in the installations that we have practiced during the day or another, which is capable of putting drywall. Today, it's time to see Spot walk.
The Spot, is a robot in the "dog" style that walks autonomously through the works, processing, digitizing and recording the construction process with 360 ° images.
The construction software company HoloBuilder. It has announced a partnership with Boston Dynamics, manufacturer of all types of mobile robots, to develop Spot Walk, a specialized application for capturing construction sites in detail.
The process allows quality and precision control, giving promoters and all those involved in the work, a live digital record of the project that can be analyzed live with widely distributed teams in multiple projects.
The integration creates actionable data, which addresses all phases of a construction project and improves productivity thanks to an easy-to-use interface that adapts perfectly to the construction workflows.
Remember that we can also make a 360º version of a specific space in our construction site, as we explain in this article, totally free.
The HoloBuilder-designed learning engine, SiteAI, analyzes the images captured by Spot Walk to gain an unprecedented view of the workplace. Analyzing, processing and quantifying the construction process that is being executed in detail and its correlation with the project.
The first pilot tests have been carried out in a 1.2 billion dollar project in Terminal 1 of the Harvey Milk Airport in San Francisco with more than positive results, according to the company.
Its operation is based on two models; the first, the robot can be taught a capture route through an intuitive interface on a Smartphone and, the second, the robot will work autonomously moving through the work capturing the places previously defined by the Technical Management.
"Our efforts have been to create a highly mobile robotic platform that can easily move in unfamiliar or unstructured environments" according to HoloBuilder
The objective of this system is to provide a complete record of construction activities; who, what, where, when, why and how, eliminating possible doubts in the construction process.
- Track and analyze the daily or weekly progress of the work in 360 °.
- Reduce documentation time by more than 50%.
- Know the current status of the work at any time and from anywhere. It is the architecture of constructive detail in real time.
- Create truly relevant delivery documents for both the teams involved on site and the owners.
- Build trust and collaboration between team members and stakeholders
Before starting the works, the documentation must be validated in detail and for that we have an excellent article on how to validate construction projects with 30 very useful files.
When we talk about large projects with a significant volume of work, budgets and human resources, these new technologies are not only a complement that will increase the productivity of the teams, but they are also a verifiable option to cut possible errors that lead to economic losses. or extra work on the construction site.
We can learn more about this technological project from the HoloBuilder company.
