WELCOME TO THE

RoBétArmé Project

"Human-robot collaborative construction system for shotcrete digitization and automation through advanced perception, cognition, mobility and additive manufacturing skills”

The Project

The RoBétArmé project aims toward a step-change in the Construction 4.0 by automating particularly laborious construction tasks in all phases of shotcrete application.

To this end RoBétArmé will deliver collaborative construction mobile manipulators, consisting of an:

Inspection Reconnaissance manipulator (IRR) to address fast, high precision modelling and rebar reinforcement through metal additive manufacturing in the preparatory phase, and;
A Shotcrete and Finishing mobile manipulator (SFR) to address autonomous shotcrete application and surface finishing during the construction and finishing phase, respectively.

RoBétArmé is a Research and Innovation Action (RIA) project, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon program and will have a duration of 42 months.

Objectives

Develop a cognitive robot platform that address the complete chain of shotcrete application for autonomous construction, maintenance, and monitoring activities of infrastructures.
Develop an advanced high-precision and real-time infrastructure perception system through AI- enabled technologies and multimodal sensor fusion.
Develop cognitive and adaptable human-robot collaboration control schemes for dexterous execution of construction and maintenance tasks.
Release advanced modelling tools tailored to the Building and Construction Information Models for the fast and greener implementation of automated construction activities.
Develop cognitive Digital Twin and simulation environments for construction monitoring, diagnostics, and orchestration activities.
Commercialization and exploitation in application cases with economic impact in European construction industry.
