Situational Awareness on Construction Sites with Spot
The Building 2030 consortium is doing cutting-edge research on situational awareness in construction. On March 16, 2021, it tested robotized reality capture indoors on Skanska’s Lippulaiva shopping center site in Espoo. Building 2030 had set up this test to examine the feasibility of robotized reality capture for real-time construction management. During the test run, the Boston Dynamics Spot robot carried a Trimble 3D…

Why We’ll See Robots on Construction Sites
In his Architect Magazine article, Boston Dynamics construction manager Brian Ringley sees invaluable opportunities for robotics that have little to do with automating building construction and installation. The notion that architects can regain their “master builder” status through robotic construction is not currently feasible, according to Ringley. He writes: “This file-to-field approach, challenging even for…
