PLP and FulcrumAir have partnered to develop a robotic system for installing conductor spacers on overhead power lines. The CSR-18 robot is an unmanned system that automatically and precisely installs PLP’s CUSHION-GRIP Twin Spacers on bundled conductors, helping to reduce safety concerns for lineworkers while also exponentially increasing overall efficiency.

The global construction robots market is expected to reach $3,542.8 million by 2030, according to a report by Grand View Research. The market is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.5% from 2023 to 2030, driven by the increasing need for environmentally friendly and affordable construction, reduced environmental impact and labor costs.

Camera-based incident detection has become an established technology to support tunnel operators in keeping their roads safe and in organizing fast response. After the introduction of thermal cameras as a solution for 24/7 automatic incident detection, systems supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) may well be the next wave. Today, AI is already bringing incident detection to an even higher performance level. sensors and cameras.

Trimble and HP are collaborating on the integration of Trimble’s latest robotic total station with HP’s new SitePrint robotic layout solution. The solution focuses on transforming the layout process for indoor construction projects. The announcement was made at the Trimble Dimensions+ Conference, where HP and Trimble are demonstrating the technology.

HP Inc. has announced HP SitePrint, a robot that prints the most complex construction site layouts with pinpoint accuracy, in a fraction of the time it takes manually – improving productivity by as much as ten times. HP SitePrint will be available to customers in North America through an Early Access Program, starting September 2022.

On a large and remote construction site in Shetland, where the team is battling the elements, covering large distances every day, the Trimble and Boston Dynamics integrated robot solution has become man’s newest four-legged friend.

Funded by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities, the latest Small Starts project led by Abbas Rashidi of the University of Utah introduces a robust, deep neural network model for analyzing the automobile traffic impacts of construction zones.
