| With the goal of advancing the use of robotics in construction, researchers at Purdue University have developed a building information modeling (BIM) based simulation software that bridges the gap between design and construction of a building. This software integrates an open-source platform (Webots) and can be used to analyze how industrial robots would assemble a wood frame structure from a BIM input. The robotic assembly process was successfully simulated on three test cases. The approach was, on average, 39x faster than manually created robotic simulations and is expected to dramatically reduce errors from design to build. Purdue's approach to this challenge opens new doors for the analysis of robotic construction of building designs. It is also part of a suite of technologies developed at Purdue aimed at enabling seamless and universal BIM interoperability. Technology Validation: This technology has been validated through 3 test cases consisting of varied frame layouts. Advantages: -Ability to integrate between building design and automated assembly -Time reduction for construction planning -Reduction of errors between design and build Applications: -Robotic fabrication of buildings -Wood frame construction -Building information modeling |
