A robot that moves a wall and automatically makes a carbon fiber hammock like a spider web

An attempt to construct a complicated structure using carbon fiber fiber with just a small robot of size Rumba size was conducted at the University of Stuttgart, and an automatic hammock with the strength that two robots hanging walls can hang humans A movie that creates in a like manner is released.

You can actually see the process of two carbon robot hammocks made by two small robots in the following movie.

Wall-climbing mini robots build "entirely new structures" from carbon fiber - YouTube


A robot of the same size as two rumba is sticking to two walls on which multiple struts are driven.


With one robot, you can only move the wall in a plane, but by passing the carbon fiber to another robot ......


It is possible to spin a complicated structure to and from the two walls.


As time goes on, carbon fibers gradually become knitted from the struts ... ...


Finally the following spider web-like hammock is completed.


It is making it sturdy so that it will not break even if humans enter.


Looking at the robot up, the parts of the carbon fiber fiber that the robot on the left has ... ...


It is handed over to the robot on the right side at the boundary of the wall.


Since the parts rotate as the robot hits the pillars, carbon fiber fibers can be wound tightly.



The robot can control the strong suction force by the internal fan and move the wall and ceiling horizontally.


This robot can move any material as long as it is a wall, and it is possible to build complex structures in various places. It is easy to carry around with the size to fit in a suitcase and proves that you can work quickly and cheaply without using a huge industrial robot. Maria Yablonina, developer, said, "The next step is to increase the number of robots and expand the working range, although the current robot works only with wires, but if you can wirelessize it will be unlimited." I am talking.
