Climate change and rising raw material prices require to rethink the handling of existing material resources and building structures. By digitally transforming a demolition machine into a semi-automated robot, a new sustainable process for safe, controlled deconstruction is being developed at the Chair of Individualized Production at RWTH Aachen University. In the research project ROBETON, we digitalize the deconstruction process enabling the reuse of concrete building components as a source of secondary building products for further use in construction and refurbishment.
The ROBETON research project is funded by the German Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Developement (BBSR) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) with funds from the „Zukunft Bau Forschungsförderung“
Furthermore, the project is supported by the project partners BROKK DA GmbH and Hilti AG as well as the associated project partners PORR AG, EIFFAGE, LEONHARD WEISS GmbH & Co. KG, HKS Dreh-Antriebe GmbH, Kerschgens Werkstoffe & Mehr GmbH, ifm group of companies und igus.
