Minibuilders / IAAC - Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (ES)
The construction industry is wasteful and inefficient, slow to adopt technologies that are already well established in other fields, such as robotics. Robotics and additive manufacturing offer great potential for innovation within the construction industry. However, in their current form, these systems all share a specific limitation. The objects they produce are linked to and constrained proportionally to the size of the machine. This methodology for production and construction is not scalable. Minibuilders is scalable, it supplants one large robot for a number of smaller agile robots, that work together effectively towards a single outcome.
