Marking robot | BALO ROBOTS LLC

Project description:

Architectural and Engineering layout is a critically important job, which is still in most cases performed manually with the help of manual labor for a long time.

This includes markup

1. Architectural building elements: Partitions and finishing elements, doors and opening direction.
2. Mechanical building elements: The location of the suspensions, the holes in the floor and the location of HVAC equipment, the detailed designation of the welds.
3. Electrical building elements: Electrical elements and low-current systems
4. Other important elements: Openings through partitions, room designations, axes.

The Robotic Marking Robot complex allows you to automate the marking for further accurate positioning of the installation of building elements. This not only automates and makes the process more accurate, but also improves occupational safety.

The innovative approach consists in the fact that instead of a pencil and ruler or a construction marker, a Robotic complex is used, which, having precise positioning and a drawing mechanism, using a floor plan drawing loaded into it, "walks" along the surface of the floor slab and marks out the building elements listed above without human intervention.

Technology:

The robot belongs to robotics technologies, which is one of the priorities of the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Nuclear and Space Technologies Foundation.

Several key technologies are used in the creation of the robot: robot positioning technology and surface printing technology.

The main goal is to develop a mobile robotic self-propelled platform equipped with a printing module that allows applying technological markings and markings to various building surfaces.

The main objectives of the development of this complex are:

• design of a robotic mobile platform, design of necessary systems and mechanisms
• development of software for the functioning of the system
• development of positioning technology in enclosed spaces with the required accuracy.

This device is designed for the production of works related to the marking of building elements for their further installation in strict accordance with the floor plans.

The device allows you to apply a room plan to the existing surface, as well as, if necessary, make the necessary marks in accordance with the design documentation.

To perform the main task of the hardware and software complex, it is necessary to set up and configure the associated equipment and software. The purpose of the device is to analyze the room and perform the necessary positioning with reference to the digital model of the room.

The innovative nature of our positioning approach lies in the fact that we have developed a much cheaper method compared to our foreign counterparts. The method is described in the appendix to the Technology description.

Further automatic detection of the movement trajectory and printing of the required data on the surface should be performed automatically, based on the model and parameters downloaded and set by the device operator.

The prototype is a robotic autonomous platform on a wheeled chassis with dimensions up to 40cm x 40cm and a height of up to 30cm, depending on the installed equipment and weighing up to 10kg. The platform structure should be designed taking into account the possibility of attaching additional equipment. The main equipment is a printing device.

The innovation of the printing device we are developing lies in the fact that it can work on dirty, wet surfaces at temperatures from -20 to +40 Degrees Celsius. The device is described in The appendix to the description of the technology.

Main consumer characteristics:

The demand for the product — The architectural layout on the floors is a critically important work, which is still carried out manually in most cases using a marking cord. The Paul robot will automate this operation with an accuracy of 1-2 mm, and will also ensure the safety of work for humans, eliminating the need to perform work in dangerous places (for example, near the edge of floors). The relevance of the project can be confirmed by the fact that the digital transformation of the construction industry is actively promoted by the Government of the Russian Federation and other countries of the world to improve the quality, productivity and safety in construction. The need for robotization of the construction process is stated by the top officials of the State at all major Industrial and IT conferences and events. Recently, two analogues of the robot under development, as well as other robots that perform repetitive operations on a construction site, were created in the United States. All these events will contribute to the demand for the developed robot, and in the light of import substitution in Russia and neighboring countries will become especially in demand.

Functionality:

The robot allows you to display on the ceiling the exact location, thickness and material of the partitions, the direction of movement of the doors (AR plans), as well as communications (engineering plans). The robot must operate at temperatures from minus 20 to +40. The robot is compact and lightweight (up to 25 kg).

Application of the robot in construction processes:

1. It will increase the accuracy of the builders' work, and possible collisions between sections of the project are being checked on the site.
2. It will reduce the number of errors.
3. It will increase the productivity and quality of human labor on the construction site.

Reliability:

The robot will be made of materials capable of providing low weight with high strength and environmental protection. The ease of changing consumables and maintenance is also designed to increase the reliability and ease of use of the product. The warranty period of the Robot is 3 years.

Aesthetics:

The robot will be a round or square, compact (up to 30 cm in diameter, up to 40 cm in height) and weighing up to 10 kg device.

Due to the fact that the robot will not look like an ordinary industrial robot, but a beautiful and easily portable device from place to place, this will attract, in addition to developers and general contractors for the construction of residential and non-residential real estate, an additional audience in the face of interior designers and installers of luxury apartments.

Environmental friendliness:

Construction debris accounts for 30% of all pollution on the planet, so the robots will be made of high-strength, but easily recyclable material.
