Patent number: 12012309Abstract: An intuitive control system for lifting equipment is described. The intuitive control system translates user defined inputs into machine expressions of movement that are in turn used to control a construction lift or similar piece of construction equipment. Orientation and relative position sensors may be incorporated into the translation and control system for correct user control of the lifting equipment in various operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 18, 2024Assignee: Construction Robotics, LLCInventors: Scott Lawrence Peters, Glenn Dayton White

Patent number: 12006188Abstract: A Building Element Lift Enhancer is described. The Building Element Lift Enhancer provides for the movement and precise placement of building elements such as blocks or sheet products by one worker. The Building Element Lift Enhancer senses the force applied by a user to the building element and converts that user applied force to mechanically assisted force from the Building Element Lift Enhancer, allowing the user to precisely move and handle large, heavy or bulky building elements by direct interaction with the building element.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Construction Robotics, LLCInventors: Scott Lawrence Peters, Andrew Walter Beckmann, Glenn Dayton White, Timothy Riley Voorheis, Kimchua Heng

Publication number: 20230076909Abstract: An Enhanced Lift Assist Device is described. The device allows a user to lift and manipulate large, heavy or bulky items by applying force to the item as opposed to traditional control methods such as buttons. This force based system provides ease of movement of the item, making it appear much lighter than it actually is. The Enhanced Lift Assist Device also includes an adjustable base that allows for change of orientation of the device that may include leveling or self-leveling functionality, allowing the device to be operated in non-traditional environments that require leveling or operational adjustments for proper functioning.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Construction Robotics, LLCInventors: Andrew Walter Beckmann, Scott Lawrence Peters, Glenn Dayton White, David Wesley Lombardo, Greg Brulo, Ji Hong Hao, Matthew Ian Gilbride, David Whitney Lyndaker, Charles Alfred Streb, IV, William Lewis Martz

Patent number: 10240949Abstract: A laser positioning system is described. The laser positioning system provides a positioning and guidance system that is suitable for environments that have external disturbances such as those caused by wind, equipment movement, vibration, and the like. The laser positioning system of the present invention uses at novel laser line beacon positioning system in optical communication with a novel laser line receiver to achieve accurate positioning in environments with external disturbances, something that has previously not been attainable. In some embodiments, a target or series of targets are used to create a reference by which the laser line receiver and an associated moveable assembly such as a robotic arm assembly are able to accurately place building elements such as bricks. Exemplary applications of the laser positioning system include, but are not limited to, accurate positioning of bricks in a wall under construction by a robotic brick laying system.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Construction Robotics, LLCInventors: Scott Lawrence Peters, Glenn Dayton White, Rockwell Najeeb Yarid, Erwin Ludwig Allmann, Timothy Riley Voorheis
