Robotic Construction Automation - ACE Build Automation (Baumatix)
Robotic Construction Automation - ACE Build Automation
Project Overview
Contributed to the development of robotic construction systems at ACE Build Automation (Baumatix), a pioneering company streamlining the design-through-construction process of creating buildings. ACE is revolutionizing the construction industry by developing and implementing robotic systems for automated building manufacturing.
Key Contributions
- Connector Design & Development: Designed, machined, and prototyped 6 different sizes of plumbing connectors for automated building assembly systems
- Structural Connector Innovation: Developed and prototyped a novel structural connector system that enables rapid building assembly
- Patent-Generating Work: Both the plumbing connector system and structural connector designs resulted in granted patents, demonstrating significant technical innovation and intellectual property creation
- Prototyping & Testing: Led the complete design-to-prototype process, from initial concept through machining and functional testing
- Manufacturing Integration: Designed connectors specifically for integration with automated building manufacturing processes
Technology Innovation
ACE Build Automation is transforming traditional construction by:
- Manufacturing buildings in large subsections in controlled factory environments
- Using powerful automated equipment instead of mobile subpar tools
- Dramatically reducing construction time while increasing building quality
- Eliminating waste from subcontractor delays, labor shortages, weather delays, and cost overruns
- Improving safety by moving construction to controlled factory environments
