The workshop inquired on new models of human-robot collaboration on constrained construction sites, where kinematic freedom of robots is limited, and where high degrees of adaptability and real-time decision making are necessary. After three days of work, two groups of participants built one single prototype with two non-synchronized industrial robotic arms, developing algorithms and interactive input interfaces for adaptation and path planning modification in real time on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.robarch2018.org\/tight-squeeze-automated-assembly-spatial-structures-constrained-sites\/\">Learn more about the workshop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GV43Gfe8C74\">Watch the timelapse video<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RobArch 2018_Tight Squeeze: Automated Assembly of Spatial Structures in Constrained Sites Doctoral candidate Jose Luis Garc\u00eda del Castillo co-led the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
