How can our HumanTech technologies benefit the construction industry and its workers? Who are the partners behind the robots we tested in our first Robotic Integration Hackathon? Watch this interview with our colleague Gabor Sziebig, Research Manager in Robotics and Automation at SINTEF Manufacturing, to learn more!
In our first Robotic Integration Hackathon, which we held at our partner ACCIONA’s facilities in Madrid, we took the chance to interview some of our colleagues involved, who provided insights into their work developing the technologies we tested — a mobile robot to help construction workers build walls by handing over bricks and a robotic arm to fill concrete joints with elastic material.
Below, watch our interview with Gabor Sziebig, who is leading HumanTech’s Work Package 5, focused on Construction Robotics and Human-Robot Collaboration, to find out more details about the groundbreaking technologies we are developing and get a glimpse of our advancements, with which we are advancing digitalisation, automation, safety and efficiency in construction.
The HumanTech partners involved
This initiative is a great example of the collaborative work that allows us to advance towards our goals at HumanTech, as six different partner organisations were involved in it: Baubot (which developed the mobile robot), Tecnalia (which created the control software that acts as the robot’s brain), with a strong support from SINTEF, the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau in Rhineland-Palatinate (RPTU) and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) are also involved in it, as well as ACCIONA, on whose construction site we carried out this hackathon.
In the following weeks, we will publish the rest of the interviews we conducted. Stay tuned to learn more about our innovative technologies! Follow our news and social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube – where you can find the HumanTech Hackathon playlist) and subscribe to our newsletter.
