RoBétArmé addresses shotcreting, a process whereby one sprays pressurized concrete onto a metal grid to build reinforced structures. KU Leuven develops means of guiding the trajectory of a shotcrete nozzle given noisy, incomplete camera observations, leveraging data-driven reasoning to overcome the uncertainty that results from noisy or missing data. In addition, we develop means of using a robot arm to smooth the concrete after shotcreting ends, including a visual smoothness estimator.
The videos below illustrate some of the concepts we’re developing. Publication pending, more detail coming soon.
