The first 2 electric test robots from San Francisco's "Marble" debuted Friday in Arlington to begin mapping the streets and sidewalks of the city
A new project from the Swiss university ETH Zurich shows how a robotic arm can construct solid columns from the seemingly improbable.
Autonomous delivery vehicles are all the rage these days, and Amazon is never one to miss out on a technology trend.
Ford is hoping data will make the difference in its quest to create a city friendly to both cars and bikes with what it calls a "mobility experiment" known as Info Cycle.
The future of driverless driving looks like a giant toaster with a funny hat. That's an approximation of a new autonomous vehicle unveiled by Nuro, a Silicon Valley startup that's been cryptic about its business plan.
She started with a Model 3 and ended up with a "Truckla," and the project is documented on YouTube.
The human-like robot, Digit, can walk up stairs and deliver goods via self-driving cars.
Kids from 8 to 13, and parents who want to know how autonomous vehicles work, can build their very own with this Ford Otosan-approved kit.
No cement. No nails. No screws. This robot arm needs just two things to build structures: gravel, and a really, really long string.
Drones, autonomous bulldozers and 3D printing - how tech is transforming the building site.
As construction workforces age, we are likely to turn to robots to build the cities of the future.
Contractors are increasingly using automation for the hard labor that goes into construction. Some workers see it as labor-saving—others, as a threat.
World leader in robotics tells a capital crowd how automation will revolutionise the building industry.
As a design and construction professional with more than 30 years of industry experience, I am shocked that construction is still an inefficient business. Multiple sources have documented that overall productivity in the construction industry has decreased throughout the last few decades. Despite all the tools and electronics on jobsites today, data from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the industry is less productive than it was in the 1960s. Why?
Ready or not -- and it appears CRE is not -- construction robots are on the horizon.
Robots can lay 1,000 bricks per hour. Will they revolutionise construction sites?
Robots have yet to be seen on construction sites, but some companies are actively pursuing technologies and innovations that could make them a part of the crew. For instance, Quantum International Corp. is working on developing home-building robots that can read CAD drawings and use 3D printing.
Evaluating the impact of technology on job performance
CONSTRUCTION is a big business, worth an estimated US$10 trillion. But, the construction space is also enmeshed with the problems of waste, severe worker shortages, and weak productivity growth. With construction being one of the least-digitized industries of today, could the adoption of technology be the answer to the industry's pain points?
There's a lot of buzz around self-driving cars, but autonomous driving technology could revolutionize a different industry first — construction.
We're taking a look at project delivery methods and why owners select the methods they do, the limitations of certain arrangements and why some risks might be worth the reward.
