Towards autonomous robot collectives delivering collaborative tasks in dynamic unstructured construction environments
Funds research teams building multi-robot systems that collaboratively assemble structures on unstructured construction sites.
This is a single-stage EIC Grant, and either a consortium or a single legal entity, including a natural person, can apply; when a consortium of exactly two applies, both have to be independent entities from two different Member States or Associated Countries, and a consortium of three or more needs at least three independent beneficiaries spread across at least two different countries, with at lea…
This Pathfinder Challenge wants breakthrough multi-robot systems for on-site construction assembly, moving beyond automating legacy diesel-era equipment toward true collaborative robot swarms. It wants each funded project to build a demonstration building system, an autonomous multi-robot collaborative platform, and prove a Technology Readiness Level 4 assembly demonstration combining the two, excluding on-site 3D printing of cementitious materials or polymers.
