The Collaborative On-Site Construction Robot (COSCR) project is an Innovate UK project which brings together factory automation and robotics expertise from HAL Robotics, ABB and InnoTecUK, together with project management expertise from BRE, site access and productization experience from Skyjack and construction industry insight from Skanska.
The COSCR platform comprises a robust mobile base, site sensing technology and BIM-linked software systems that enable it to navigate safely and accurately around a construction site.
It can be operated manually or autonomously. In manual mode, an operator uses a controller to move the robot around the site. In autonomous mode, the robot uses its onboard sensors, as well as maps derived directly from 3D BIM (building information modelling) models, to navigate itself safely around the site and perform tasks that have been scheduled by the user.
