The “Robots to Re-Construction” Bots2ReC project was launched in 02/2016 to introduce mobile robotic units on construction sites for the automated removal of asbestos contamination. The novel use case of asbestos removal and the dedicated robotic system are introduced. After giving the motivation for the use case, a brief overview of recent approaches to mobile robotic systems on construction sites...
The increasing energy consumption within the industrial sector causes great concerns among numerous countries. Accordingly, an extensive reorientation towards an energy-efficient facility and processes design is essential for innovative production systems. In terms of automated object manipulation, energy efficiency significantly is affected by the physical design as well as by the dynamic characteristics...
Autonomous asbestos removal requires a highly reliable and precise map of the robot's environment. These maps are usually obtained through Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) yielding maps that vary in accuracy and exhibited noise. Given the high number of available SLAM algorithms on the one hand and the map's significance for the asbestos removal process on the other hand, a comparative...
