The ShieldBot project aims to revolutionise the construction industry by integrating advanced robotics with sustainable practices to tackle critical challenges in renovation and building efficiency.
As the demand for energy-efficient buildings grows, traditional construction methods fall short in meeting modern sustainability standards. ShieldBot intends to address this gap through the deployment of specialised robotic solutions that enhance the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing environmental impact:
InnerShieldBot
is designed for internal construction works, applying similar thermal shielding to walls and ceilings to enhance comfort and efficiency.
InspectionShieldBot
utilises advanced sensors to assess building exteriors, identifying areas needing repair or insulation, ensuring maintenance and sustainability.
FaçadeShieldBot
focuses on installing thermal shielding on building façades, improving insulation and reducing energy consumption.
These robotic systems are supported by:
DigiShield
A digital twin platform that aggregates and analyses data from on-site operations, enabling real-time decision-making and precise project planning.
EcoShield
Innovative, eco-friendly materials for insulation solutions to further minimise the carbon footprint of construction activities.
The Challenges
Adapting robotics to complex and unstructured construction environments
Overcoming the limited adoption of robotics due to industry perceptions
Balancing precision and flexibility in robotic systems
