Distributed AI Architectural Robot Systems Benefit Everyone

TAOYUAN, Taiwan - July 3, 2024 - PRLog -- Everyone needs house to live. Dr. Hung-Chih Lu's public welfare invention of the AI Robots and Adaptive Architectural Systems can not only enable rapid construction of buildings, but also make them low-carbon, eco-friendly, long-lasting, affordable, and suitable for multiple generations. It can help mitigate the extreme climate caused by global warming, benefiting everyone.

Previously, Dr. Lu publicly showcased the building part of this invention: the "AI Robotic Pixelated Low-Carbon Architectural System". This time, he wants to reveal the AI robot part, which he named the "Distributed AI Architectural Robot Systems".

Humanoid robots are very inefficient, so Dr. Lu does not develop them, including integrated robots. Instead, he adopts distributed AI robots that can exponentially expand AI capabilities, perform various complex tasks, and have high flexibility without any dead ends.

AI robots excel at single and repetitive tasks, which can be divided into rough and fine work. Rough work requires powerful force output, so hydraulic rods are used. Fine work requires precision, so motors and gears are adopted.

To illustrate the rough work AI robots, as shown in Figure 1, is the "Transport Distributed AI Architectural Robot". The vehicle body is made of brass for safety, strength, and heat dissipation, with a crawler for movement. To better handle heavy objects, there are jacks at the four corners. The upper part of the vehicle has a turntable connected to the robot arm by three hydraulic rods. The connections between the arm, elbow, and hand are all driven by hydraulic rods with hidden pipeline routing to avoid damage during operation. The hand needs to transport pixelated architectural modules, thus the robot hand has three fingers to stably place the modules in position and join them. The modules are made of all steel and are beautified with imitation wood and marble. They are fixed with steel mortise and tenon joints and screws to provide earthquake and typhoon protection.

Next is the fine work part. The joined building modules need to be further secured with screws, as shown in Figure 2, the "Fastening Distributed AI Architectural Robot". Since it does not require large force output, it moves on wheels. The arm is driven entirely by motors and gears. Although screwing is a simple task, to maximize efficiency, two robots perform it separately. One has a two-finger hand in green to hold the screws and place them at the screw holes. The other has an electric screwdriver hand in blue to lock the screws.

The eyes of these AI robots are not fixed on the robots but use multiple drones to provide comprehensive long-range and multi-angle vision, obtaining environmental data without blind spots.
