Deliverables

Report on laboratory tests

Report of the tests, evaluation and adjustment of the cable robot system in a controlled laboratory environment. The following systems will be tested and evaluated: movement of the robot, anchoring system, scanning system, drilling and positioning of the anchorages, handling of a curtain wall module and placing it in a specific place of the structure.

Analysis and evaluation

Report of the analysis and evaluation of existing devices for being integrated on the Cable Robot for vertical works like winches, pulleys, end-effectors comprising controllers and drives, sensors (for motion, for quality inspection, for preventing collisions), actuators, (automated) tools for scanning slabs, tools for drilling slabs automatically, for handling curtain wall anchorage, for screwing curtain wall anchorage to the slabs and for handling and assembling curtain wall modules.

Identification of requirements

Report of the identification of the requirements for the Cable Robot system for vertical works in the Construction sector, in particular, for the installation of curtains walls. Definition of the regulations for elevation and transport; definition of safety regulations for works in exterior of buildings. Definition of the tolerances required for the different steps in the assembly of facades.

Report on communication and dissemination activities

Summary report on communication and dissemination activities provided at M12, M24 and M42; revised periodically.

Public communication material: website, brochure, newsletter, templates

Periodic updates of the project baseline communication materials; revised periodically.

Report on validation of the cable robot in a real construction environment

Report of the final demonstration and validation of the system in final demonstration building structure built during the project. Validation of the cable robot system in terms of time required to complete the operations, accuracy, efficiency, safety and usability for workers of the construction sector.

Methodology for the use of cable robots in construction and built environment

Report of the methodology and protocol definition for the use of cable robots in construction and built environment. The experience gained in the previous phases will be the base to define a guideline for using cable robots for performing automated installation of prefabricated panels onto building structures.

Risk assessment and definition of safety requirements

Report of the risk assessment analysis and definition of the safety requirements associated to the application of the robot in a construction environment that integrated a multi-functional end-effector specifically for working at height with heavy construction products.

Prototype of the final demonstrator building structure

Prototype of the final demonstrator building structure built according to the specifications and designs performed in WP2 including the description of the accesses and the description of the work site.
