A Brief Review on Robotic Floor-Tiling

IECON 2018 - 44th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2018
There are large quantities of tiles to be consumed every year all over the world. Developing construction robot to replace the worker to accomplish the floor-tiling task will playa key role in future construction automation. In this paper, a brief review on the research progress of the robotic floor-tiling is presented. Firstly, several kinds of manual

Automated Tile Polishing Robot

2019 International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering (ICNTE), 2019
Under the present scenario tile polishing is a tedious, expensive and time consuming process with a high dependency on efficiency of human workers. This work involves the design and fabrication of an autonomous robot for polishing of tiles, granite, marble and other floorings.

Robotic floor-tiling platform system design

IECON 2019 - 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2019
This paper designs a robotic system for floor-tiling, which is aiming to replace the labor-intensive and repetitive tile-laying work. Firstly, the current manual tile paving process is analyzed; then according to the step of measuring and positioning of tiles in the manual process, the system framework of the robotic floor-tiling platform is designed ...

Robotized Palletization of Wall Tiles

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1987
Abstract A robotized manipulating system, which performs the task of quality recognition, separation and palletization of packs of wall tiles in an existing ceramic factory is described in this paper. The packs, previously marked according to their quality, arrive at the end of a production line, where the robot picks them up, arranges them in ...

Development of Mobile Tile Cladding Robot System

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), 1991
An inner construction work robot test system has been designed and evaluated at VTT. The designed, but partially realized, robot system could reach and transfer a pay-load of 10 kg to any inner surface of such a room in any orientation, the maximum height of which is close to the required 3.2 m.

Modular robotic tiles: experiments for children with autism

Artificial Life and Robotics, 2009
We developed a modular robotic tile and a system composed of a number of these modular robotic tiles. The system composed of the modular robotic tiles engages the user in physical activities, e.g., physiotherapy, sports, fitness, and entertainment.

Htetran – A Polyabolo Inspired Self Reconfigurable Tiling Robot

2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2019
Research focuses on robots related to area coverage applications such as cleaning, painting, demining, lawn moving, and inspection is gaining significant momentum in recent years. The majority of such research platforms faces significant performance issues while accessing narrow and constrained spaces due to their fixed morphology. To this end, we have

Position detection of an autonomous robot by aperiodic tilings

IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Sensing, Processing, Networking. IMTC Proceedings, 2002
We propose an aperiodic tiling suitable for a floor pattern to provide an autonomous robot with position information. The most direct approach to this problem would be to equip the robot with an optical sensor to detect and count its traversals across the lines of a rectangular grid painted on the floor.
