Our second workshop at the European Robotics Forum was a great success! It allowed us to share our knowledge on the benefits of AI and robotics in achieving automation in construction — based on our research and development activities — with more than 100 professionals in the AI and robotics area.
We organised a workshop on “AI and Robotics in Construction” in collaboration with our sister projects, the EU-funded BEEYONDERS and RoBétArmé, for the second year in a row, which attracted a huge audience.
Our project coordinator, Jason Rambach (DFKI), introduced HumanTech, highlighting the groundbreaking technologies we are developing to revolutionise the construction sector.
Antonio Alonso Cepeda (ACCIONA) and Dimitris Giakoumis (CERTH-ITI) also introduced our sister projects, with which we created the Tech4EUconstruction cluster.
Watch the interview we did with them, in which they reflect on the successful outcome of our workshop, the importance of the cluster for our projects and the opportunity it offers us to collaborate and advance AI and robotics in construction.
During the workshop, Gabor Sziebig (SINTEF), Renaud Detry (KU Leuven) and Maria Teresa Lázaro (ITAINNOVA) addressed key aspects of AI and robotics necessary for introducing robotic automation in construction sites, focusing on robot vision, navigation, control and HRI.
Patricia Helen Rosen (BAuA) shared insights from the first end-user evaluation we developed in HumanTech.
Our colleagues Gabor Sziebig and Sascha Wischniewski (BAuA), together with Herman Bruyninckx (KU Leuven), Jose Carlos Jimenez (TECNALIA) and Alberto Landini (STAM), held an insightful panel on challenges and lessons learned within our projects.
To conclude, we had an interactive feedback round with the attendees.
Thanks to all who joined us!
