Robots will learn to update the walls and furniture in the apartment

The American company Asmbld, specializing in the design of robotics, has developed a prototype system, which in the future will allow to build walls and furniture in the room with the help of small robots operating under the floor.

The project called Dom Indoors implies the installation of a special two-tier superstructure in the room above the floor. Aluminum frame and plastic tiles are stored on the lower tier. On the upper tier of the superstructure, there is empty space in which the assembly robots move, orienting themselves with the help of light indications and markers.

When a redevelopment project is loaded into the system, robots collect cubes with the 15 face and see that they are pushed up in the desired sequence. In fact, in the design, each cube is one large conventional pixel, from which walls and furniture are made up and pushed into layers on the floor surface from below.

If the robot determines more weight than it should be, the system will stop and wait for the operator to decide. Also, the system will be able to independently determine a broken robot or a structural element and indicate to a person its location for quick replacement.

Currently, the Dom Indoors project has developed and assembled prototypes of robots. They can already move along markers, operate with structural elements and lift finished cubes to the top.

According to the developers, such a system can help optimize the use of space in small apartments, as well as save money when running a business, as it helps to quickly reconfigure premises of any size on demand.

The cost of installing such a system for a room of 46,5 square. meters will be twelve thousand dollars.
