A robotic construction vehicle uses 3D digital mapping and AI to independently learn the best placement for each stone in a wall. The autonomous robot picks and scans each boulder to determine its placement, transforming a pile of boulders into stone walls without mortar. Equipped with lidar, the robotic excavator creates a 3D map of the construction site and uses AI models to figure out the best way to grasp and place individual stones. The robot can place one stone building block every 12 minutes and has a median positional error of just one-tenth of a meter. The robot is still supervised by a human and controlled for safety reasons, but researchers aim to make it fully autonomous.
