Modular Interior Finishing and Renovation Robot System
Solutions:
The robots were composed by a modular system:
A basic modul, which adopts movement & orientation
Additional work modules, which could be installed on the basic modul
|
Work modul (drilling & plugging):
|
Basic modul (movement & positioning):
|
Opreating sequence:
- Preparation: Calibration of drilling points, bottom fracturing by chalk line
- Crude positioning of the robot by manual control
- Robot moves automatically to first drill point along chalk line
- Automatic exact positioning
- Vertical movement & interlocking to the floor
- Drilling
- Replacement of the suspending brackets into wall driller & assembling
- Lowering, moving to next drilling point
