Method and system for inspecting a building construction site using a mobile robotic system

A mobile robot system inspects building construction sites using a sensor system to gather data and a mobile platform to move around. The robot receives information about specific building objects to inspect, uses a building information model (BIM) to create a navigation map, and then autonomously determines and travels to specific points to inspect those objects. For multiple objects close together, it can determine a single inspection point.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced SLAM and real-time object detection algorithms were robust enough for dynamic construction sites. These improvements make autonomous navigation and inspection more reliable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMobile robot, sensor system, navigation software, BIM
