Ai-Backed Robots Roll Through Seattle Construction Site, Speeding Build Process And Improving Safety

BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and automation are impacting our work and lives.Two Didge robots from Nextera Robotics, outside the Kaye apartments development in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. (Skanska Photo)A couple of high-tech workers are part of the crew helping to construct a new residential tower in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. They roll through the place, take a bunch of pictures, upload everything to an artificial intelligence platform, and in the process speed up the project and improve safety along the way.Skanska, the project development and construction company with offices in Seattle, is using two autonomous robots from Boston-based Nextera Robotics as it helps build out Kaye, a 31-story apartment building. The pilot program is the first of its kind on the West Coast.Through the use of high-resolution, 360-degree photography, the Didge robots give architects and Skanska’s development team near-constant eyes on a project site.Stewart Germain, Skanska’s director of innovation.

Dusty Robotics Unveils Second Generation Robot And Comprehensive Bim-To-Field Automated Workflow

New FieldPrint Platform Integrates Proprietary Hardware, Software, and Services to Optimize Building Processes, Ensuring Precision and Alignment at every stage– from VDC to InstallationMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dusty Robotics has announced the launch of its FieldPrint Platform, a complete BIM-to-field solution designed to reduce construction risk by ensuring all contractors are building off the same information. The FieldPrint Platform provides a suite of tools that enable GC's and trade partners to streamline their BIM-to-field workflow by supporting the entire process from design to installation and beyond. Building upon the success of the first-generation FieldPrinter, which has printed over 91 million square feet of layout, the new FieldPrint Platform incorporates lessons learned from years of experience in the field to deliver an optimized experience for all trades on site.Five years ago, Dusty pioneered multi-trade layout: automating all interior trades' layout using a robot to mark coordinated drawings on the deck, ensuring that everyone builds from the same information. The FieldPrint Platform introduces a suite of software and hardware functionality, including a brand new second-generation layout robot, the FieldPrinter 2, which work together to create an efficient process for the GC and trades to accurately and comprehensively lay out BIM models on the deck."Construction is fundamentally a data-driven workflow that hinges on the right information being made available to the right person at the right time," said Tessa Lau, CEO and co-founder of Dusty Robotics. "Our new FieldPrint Platform supports the seamless flow of data from the design phase, to the field, and back to the trailer
