Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Construction processes are labor-intensive and prone to accidents due to manual tasks, with existing machinery not effectively reducing human participation in building construction.
Innovation Solution
A cartesian robot system that autonomously rises and uses robotic supply of liquid construction materials to form vertical and horizontal elements, along with electric and electronic installations, eliminating the need for external lifting equipment like cranes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual construction methods are used, then human participation in construction tasks is high, but productivity is low and accident risk is high
Solution Approach 1:
The construction system is fully autonomous, with the robot self-positioning on constructed elements, self-supplying materials through integrated hoppers, and self-controlling fabrication processes without human intervention or external cranes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical construction operations with an automated robotic system that uses programmable control, sensors, and automated fabrication tools to perform laying, molding, and assembly tasks
2Ease of operation
If external lifting equipment like cranes is used, then the robot can be positioned, but device complexity increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The robot autonomously positions itself by climbing and fastening to vertical surfaces of the construction using its own mechanical components, eliminating the need for external cranes or lifting equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The robot system integrates multiple functions including self-lifting, material supply, fabrication, and positioning into a single autonomous platform, reducing dependency on separate specialized equipment
3Productivity
If precast construction materials are used, then construction speed improves, but human participation remains high for assembly tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual assembly operations with automated robotic fabrication tools that lay, mold, and assemble construction elements using liquid materials that set to form vertical and horizontal elements
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses liquid construction materials in a fluid state during fabrication, then relies on the setting process to transform them into solid structural elements, enabling automated formation of construction components

AI summary
A robotised construction system is provided that includes a cartesian robot that can be automatically lifted as the construction is becoming higher, that is provided with a system of robotic supply of the materials and of the electric and electronic installations and that is provided with specific fabrication tools which work some by the contribution of layers of fluid construction materials. In a cement-based usage in which the cement is setting and having been deposited, by projection of these same materials and others by forming and placing construction elements in a determined position.
