Abstract

The article describes a method of automating the construction process by using a hinged robot in construction. Some problems such as the mobility of the 3D printing device have been solved. With increasing mobility of the device there will be increased not only the speed of construction, but also the need for high-class concrete. The main purpose of the experience is to provide a method of feed solution in the terms of use articulated robot manipulator with possibility of timely dosages in difficult conditions so that replenishment of the solution could occur on the construction site or close to it. The main idea is to use nozzles that have certain capabilities for construction. The first nozzle is a system of capturing brick blocks fed by the conveyor, and their further movement to the desired point. The other nozzle is a mobile extruder. The system is able to create a concrete thread with great precision which can be used as a masonry mortar and as a solution for printing the frame of the building.
