    Abstract: A robotic system (100) includes a robot (200) with one or more end-effectors (211) that combine at least one physical object (22), e.g. piles or tiles (42), etc., and a physical structure (20), e.g. a bridge or a wall (47) at a production site (26), e.g. a river site or a building, according to a production process. Sensors (212), e.g. force, speed, position, shape, optical/camera, etc. generate measurements relating to the production process. For example, a model of the production site (26) may provide a civil engineer's conception of how the concrete piles and other construction materials can be combined to build the desired bridge. A control system (218) stores specifications for the production process based on a model of the production site and/or the at least one object. The control system receives the measurements from the sensors, determines a difference based on the measurements and the specifications, determines adjustments to the production process based on the determined difference, and sends instructions for the end-effectors based on the specifications and the adjustments. The end-effectors combine a second object with the first object and the one or more objects based on the specifications and the one or more adjustments. By allowing the robot to adjust the production process on its own, the production process can continue without interruption and/or intervention by operators.

    Abstract: Example implementations may relate to a mobile robotic device that is operable to reorient a distance sensor using an adjustable leveler. According to these implementations, the robotic device may determine a height map indicating surface elevation data for a ground surface on which the robotic device is travelling within an environment. Then, the robotic device may determine a current location of the robotic device relative to the height map. Based on the current location, the robotic device may determine a current spatial orientation of the distance sensor relative to the ground surface. Further, the robotic device may (i) determine an adjusted position of the leveler to which the leveler is movable to cause the distance sensor to spatially reorient from the current spatial orientation to a target spatial orientation and (ii) cause the distance sensor to reorient to the target spatial orientation by moving the leveler to the adjusted position.
