OUR ROBOT: CONVEXO

“Robot” is a neologism by the Czech writer Josef Čapek. Mobile robots can move, act and react independently in their environment. Legged robots are special robots that can move with the help of legs. In the demanding environment of a construction site, legged robots can relieve us humans of a wide variety of tasks, such as creating a continuous documentation. We use the legged robot SPOT from Boston Dynamics for this purpose.

We want to create a “digital clone” of a building: an immersive 3D scan, transferred into a 3D CAD model of the building, available at any time of its creation. The SPOT legged robot, which operates autonomously on the construction site and is equipped with the appropriate sensors as payload, is used for fully automated scanning. Together with VRVis and Rhomberg Bau, we are working on the realisation of our vision.
