Japan has successfully developed an arm-type construction robot that can assist in the placement of reinforcement

Japanese companies have successfully developed a 'robot assistant robot' that can assist workers in the work of laying heavy steel bars. The working radius of the robot is 5M. With the advancement of the construction project, some settings will need to be replaced. The weight of the parts to be replaced is about 40-60kg, and the assembly method is very simple. Manual disassembly and installation work can be completed in time. The joint Ru0026D team of Japan's Shimizu Construction, ACTIVELINK, and SCMachinery announced on September 6, 2016 that they have successfully developed a 'rebar assistant robot' that can assist workers in the work of heavy steel reinforcement. The robot consists of five parts: 'shoulder gyrationElbows, lower arms and hands. The motors that can drive the overall movement of the machine are built into the shoulder convolution part, the elbow convolution part and the second arm, respectively, and can achieve a movement very similar to that of the human right arm. In the work of laying bars, the operator needs to fix the robot on steel columns such as H-beams, use the grabbing part to grab the heavy steel bars, and then press the lift button to lift it up. The staff needs to control the joystick with one hand, and the built-in motor will cooperate to start. The reinforcement assistant robot can infer the operator's intention to carry out activities. The reinforcement work with a weight of up to 200kg can be completed by only one operator and 2 auxiliary personnel. Even people without experience in reinforcement work can easily complete the operation. . The working radius of the robot is 5M. With the advancement of the construction project, some settings will need to be replaced. The weight of the parts to be replaced is about 40-60kg, and the assembly method is very simple. It only takes about 20 minutes for 3 workers. Manual disassembly and installation can be completed in time. At present, the cloth reinforcement assistant robot is undergoing field tests at the construction site of Owada on Tokyo's outer ring road.
