  • Autonomous apparatus and system for repetitive tasks in construction project
    Patent number: 10061323
    Abstract: An autonomous assembly that includes a gantry subassembly, a carrier subassembly movably mounted on the gantry subassembly, a tool actuation subassembly mounted on the carrier subassembly, and an autonomous control system including a perception subsystem, a motion planning subsystem, and a motion control subsystem. The gantry subassembly includes a bridge member for laterally spanning a selected section of a work site and a gantry drive system for effecting travel of the gantry subassembly along a first path, generally in a longitudinally along the length of the selected portion of a work site. The carrier subassembly includes a carriage and a carriage drive system for effecting travel of the carriage along a second path, generally laterally along the bridge member.
