Robot seeks to revolutionize construction, shorten times to tackle housing crisis

A Coruña, Oct. 3 (EFE) – All3 Senior Vice President and Head of Mobile Robotics Giuseppe Napo Montano presented the Mantis robot at Ecosystems 2030 in A Coruña (Spain), which aims to revolutionize construction and reduce timeframes.

During his speech at the international forum, Napo Montano focused on the housing problem and pointed out that “in Europe alone, 9.6 million homes are needed.”

He analyzed that, currently, “construction costs continue to rise and housing prices must fall, so the system is not sustainable.”

All3 has developed the Mantis robot, which aims to design and assemble buildings more quickly and accurately.

It is an autonomous robot designed to perform various tasks, such as drilling or painting, but it also “inspects and performs quality control processes.”

Housing shortages

The head of mobile robotics at All3 has assured that these robots “can work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Shortening times is also key to tackling the problem of housing shortages. The project “can do in one day what usually takes between three and six months.”

“Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 25%, it is 50% faster to complete the work, and 30% cheaper,” he summarized.

A video showed the trucks that transport these robots and how they move around the construction site.

“It’s not a robot; we’re trying to redesign who has a roof over their heads,” he concluded. EFE
