Rebar assembly. Reinvented through robotics
Rebar assembly represents a critical bottleneck in many construction projects. This innovative automation solution, developed in partnership between Skanska, ABB, Husqvarna, and Enodo Robotics, demonstrates how advanced robotics can revolutionize traditional construction processes.
Enodo Robotics developed all software in this project, translating rebar cage designs directly into coordinated robot programs. The system integrates CAD/BIM design models with fully automated robot programming, eliminating manual motion programming entirely. This project is a great example of how path planning customized to a specific application area can unlock single-unit production with robots.
How it works
Input: BIM model
Engineers use Tekla, Revit or similar tools to create the rebar cage design. This digital asset is the input to the system.
Automatic planning
Software provided by Enodo analyse the BIM model and generates a robot program for assembling the structure.
Output: robot program
The robot executes the program in a live workcell, assembling the cage safely and accurately.
