Abstract: Techniques of automated framing for use in the construction of building structures are described. Examples of such structures includes walls, wall panels, roofs, and the like. In one scenario, a robotic automated framing system assists with construction of a building structure. The robotic automated framing system can analyze an architectural plan and determine a project, based at least in part, on the architectural plan. The robotic automated framing system can also schedule a robot to perform the project, and cause the robot to perform at least some of the project.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cutting of lumber are disclosed. The system includes a loading module that receives lumber from a loading area and places the lumber on a cutting table. The system includes an actuating module that receives the lumber from the loading module, inspects the lumber, records lumber information based on the inspection, and positions the lumber on the cutting table in preparation for cutting. The system includes a sensor module that detects the position of the lumber on the cutting table, and records the position to the lumber information. The system includes a computing module that analyzes the lumber information received from the actuating module and sensor module. The system includes a cutting module that cuts the lumber based the lumber information, the cutting resulting in cut lumber. The system includes an unloading module that places the cut lumber on an unloading area.

Abstract: A method for automatic panel design and fabrication includes receiving a two-dimensional or three-dimensional architectural plan for a building, converting the architectural plan into a first data file that contains information about a location, length, and style of each wall included in the architectural plan, obtaining, from the first data file, a list of walls to automatically generate a second data file that contains a list of panels to be constructed for each of the list of walls, and generating a set of commands for each of panels in the list and transmitting the set of commands to a robotic builder, to allow the robotic builder to automatically build each of the panels in the list.
