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 a stud plate connector end effector are disclosed. A system includes a first clamping gripper and a second clamping gripper configured to secure a first piece of lumber during a lumber joining process. An abutting gripper located perpendicular to the first and second clamping grippers is configured to secure a second piece of lumber during the lumber joining process. One end of the second piece of lumber is positioned in contact with the first piece of lumber. A fastening tool located on an opposite end from the abutting gripper is configured to attach the first and second pieces of lumber together. A vision system is configured to align the second piece of lumber to the first piece of lumber. The first, second and abutting grippers align the first and second pieces of lumber based on an alignment data from the vision system.
