An autonomous, robotic hydraulic excavator could build a dry stone wall to act as a blast shield around a launch pad on the moon, propose a team of Swiss researchers. The excavator would make use of ...

ETH Zurich researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tonnes and demolition debris. * dry stone wall construction has involved vast ...

Earth-moving equipment has always been a symbol of raw mechanical strength – thundering engines, hydraulic muscle, and the unmistakable hum of steel meeting soil. But over the last decade, the ...

Bedrock Robotics, led by a veteran of Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous tech unit, is emerging from stealth with $80 million and plans to make heavy construction equipment work around-the-clock without human ...

The robotics experts at ETH Zurich have developed an autonomous excavator that uses advanced AI to help it complete high-skill tasks without a human operator. Dry stone wall construction typically ...

“Building the robots that build the world” is more than a catchy slogan. It’s an innovative concept that could really transform not just constructions but other related fields as well. Technology has ...

Autonomous construction equipment is not merely the fanciful stuff of far-flung iron ore mines in Australia—these robotic machines are slowly gaining advocates here in North America—where we will see ...

The robotic excavator system integrates perception, planning and control capabilities to enable material loading over a long duration with no human intervention. Researchers from Baidu Research ...
