RoboCons | Cooperative Robotics for Construction – Horizon Europe Project
Vision, Mission & Project Objectives
To transform construction and renovation through a human-centred ecosystem where workers, robots, and digital technologies collaborate safely and seamlessly, creating more productive, resource-efficient, and sustainable worksites.
Our Strategic Vision
To enable the next generation of collaborative robotic ecosystems where intelligent robots, humans, and AI-driven orchestration systems work together seamlessly to improve industrial productivity, safety, flexibility, and sustainability.
Our Key Mission
To establish the Robot-Human Adaptive Construction Ecosystem (ACE), supported by a Digital Construction Platform (DCP), and integrate human-empowering, robot-assisting, and situational-awareness technologies into solutions validated in real construction and renovation scenarios.
ROBOCONS envisions a future in which
Construction sites become safer, smarter, and more sustainable through the real-time integration of BIM, robotics, AI, and cooperative human-centred automation—empowering workers, improving productivity and quality, and reducing costs, waste, and environmental impact.
RoboCons Major Action Objectives
Digital Construction Platform (DCP)
A centralized cloud-native environment that integrates multi-source telemetry, BIM files, and live robot parameters. Serving as the core operational brain, the DCP processes IoT and robot signals to render real-time Digital Twins, optimizing multi-robot task dispatching and spatial coordination.
Human Empowering Technologies
Integrating Augmented Reality (AR) HUDs and lightweight cybernetic exoskeletons into daily construction. By projecting plans on-site and lowering the physical toll of materials handling, RoboCons bridges technology with human skill, keeping builders safe, healthy, and highly capable.
Deliver Robot-Assisting Technologies
Creating highly adaptive manipulators, autonomous mobile bases, and precise additive manufacturing tools. These modular systems automate the most repetitive and dangerous site operations—such as drilling, high-elevation alignment, and floor inspection.
Measure Holistic Impacts
Conducting exhaustive ecological, economic, and social life-cycle assessments on the deployed systems. We track resource consumption, carbon footprint reduction, economic overruns, and worker ergonomic feedback to prove the sustainable case of the RoboCons architecture.
