metro Zurich has unveiled a construction robot that can build curved concrete walls using digital technology . The robot can weld metal blocks and reinforced concrete , and work alongside a large - scale 3D sand printing device . It is anticipated that robots , robotic cranes , automated diggers and other human - free machines will become common features of construction sites , whilst supervision will occur offsite using 2d and 4D visual remote technology , according to British construction company mac ##world .
ETH Zurich has unveiled a construction robot that can build curved concrete walls using digital technology. The robot can weld metal bars and shape concrete, and works alongside a large-scale 3D sand printing device. It is anticipated that drones, robotic cranes, automated diggers and other human-free machines will become common features of construction sites, whilst supervision will occur offsite using 3D and 4D visual remote technology, according to British construction company Balfour Beatty.
