Mobile robot for automatic installation of floor tiles [PDF]
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002 This paper describes the configuration of a floor-tile installation robot for commercial buildings. The research is motivated by the need to reduce the installation time and cost while guaranteeing consistent quality. In order to compete with human installation, a time of 24 seconds per installed tile has to be matched.

Tiled Auxetic Cylinders for Soft Robots [PDF]
2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019 Compliant structures allow robots to overcome environmental challenges by deforming and conforming their bodies. In this paper, we investigate auxetic structures as a means of achieving this compliance for soft robots. Taking a tiling based approach, we fabricate 3D printed cylindrical auxetic structures to create tiled auxetic cylinders (TACs).

Robotic tile placement: Tools, techniques, and feasibility [PDF]
Gerontechnology, 2012 The project develops an integrated digital workflow [1] for robotic tile placement that allows off-site use of industrial robotics for on-site tiled surfaces, and tests feasibility in the context of the tile industry. The proposed approach overcomes limitations of existing methods that focus on efficiency [2,3] by enabling unique and complex tile ...

Modeling and Analysis of the Cleaning System of a Reconfigurable Tiling Robot [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 Cleaning robots have been gaining traction amongst various industries globally, with domestic floor cleaning robots being the most widespread. These robots usually employ brushes with a vacuum unit for dry cleaning purposes. For a self-reconfigurable tiling-based floor cleaning robot, hTetro, a modular sweeping module was developed. This robot consists

Computer-assisted robotic tiling of mosaics
Robotica, 2004 This paper describes the development of a system that is capable of tiling mosaics using a robot according to requirements of the individual customer. The art of mosaic, in one form or another, has been practiced manually for thousands of years. Modern developments in materials and production techniques could be found as evidence that mosaic is very ...
