Mobile manipulator autonomously building a wall

The video shows the placement of the last two bricks in the final test of the automated robotic masonry application developed in a master thesis project at The University of Southern Denmark, spring 2010. The robot moves between two work stations: 1) Bricks are recognized and picked. 2) The wall frame is recognized and a path to the desired position of the next brick to place in the wall is found.

@dobermann780 lol u suck

A few advice for you guys:

1. Visit a real construction site and talk with masons about theyr job, what kind of difficulties they have and etc.,

2. If it's possible, the robot must be as narrow as possible, because of the limited spaces in construction site.

3. Change brick recognition system, because as I understand now, the robot can recognise only b&W squares instead of full brick.

I have a lot of ideas how you could improve it pretty easy, so if you are interested, just contact me.
