Abstract: A method of inspecting a building construction site using a mobile robotic system includes a mobile platform and a sensor system mounted on the mobile platform and configured to generate one or more types of sensor data. The method includes: receiving object identification information identifying at least one building object to be inspected by the mobile robotic system in the building construction site; obtaining a robot navigation map covering the at least one building object based on a building information model for the building construction site; and determining at least one goal point in the robot navigation map for the at least one building object, each goal point being a position in the robot navigation map for the mobile robotic system to navigate autonomously to for inspecting corresponding one or more building objects of the at least one building object. A corresponding inspection system is also provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for automatic kitting of items. The system for automatic kitting of items includes a robotic device, a first imaging device, a computing device and a controller. The robotic device includes an arm with a robotic gripper at one end. The first imaging device is focused on a device conveying kitted items. The computing device is coupled to the first imaging device and is configured to process image data from the first imaging device. The computing device includes item arrangement verification software configured to determine whether each item desired to be in the kitted items is present or absent in the kitted items in response to the processed image data from the first imaging device and generates data based on whether an item desired to be in the kitted items is absent from the kitted items. The controller is coupled to the computing device to receive the data from the computer representing whether an item desired to be in the kitted items is absent from the kitted items. The controller is also coupled to the robotic device for providing instructions to the robotic device to control movement of the arm and the robotic gripper, wherein at least some of the instructions provided to the robotic device are generated in response to the item desired to be in the kitted items being absent from the kitted items.

Abstract: A robot taping system for applying a sticky tape onto of an object; the robot taping system comprising: a scanner to scan the object; a computer to generate a 3D model of the object from a scan of the object obtained by the scanner, the computer allowing a user to define a selected area and the computer generating a taping path for covering the selected area with the tape; a programmable robotic arm configured to move along a trajectory corresponding to the taping path; a taping tool attached to a free end of the robotic arm and comprising a tape holder rod to support a roll of the tape thereabout and from where the tape is dispensed; and a taping roller to contact a non-sticky side of the tape and to press the sticky side of a tape onto the selected area during movement of the robotic arm along the trajectory.
