Abstract
A method for automatic panel design and fabrication includes receiving a two-dimensional or three-dimensional architectural plan for a building, converting the architectural plan into a first data file that contains information about a location, length, and style of each wall included in the architectural plan, obtaining, from the first data file, a list of walls to automatically generate a second data file that contains a list of panels to be constructed for each of the list of walls, and generating a set of commands for each of panels in the list and transmitting the set of commands to a robotic builder, to allow the robotic builder to automatically build each of the panels in the list.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a two-dimensional architectural plan for a building structure;
- converting the two-dimensional architectural plan into a first data file that contains information about a location, length, and style of each wall included in the architectural plan;
- obtaining, from the first data file, a list of walls to automatically generate a second data file that contains a list of panels to be constructed from the list of walls;
- generating, with a build manager, a set of commands to build a panel from the list of panels using a robotic builder having robotic machines configured to build the panel:
- selecting one or more robotic machines to build the panel based at least on panel cost;
- outputting the set of commands to the one or more robotic machines, the set of commands containing instructions for the one or more robotic machines to build the panel;
- and
- building with the one or more robotic machines the panel based on the set of commands.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, coupled to the processor, configured to store executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a two-dimensional architectural plan for a building structure;
- converting the two-dimensional architectural plan into a first data file that contains information about a location, length, and style of each wall included in the architectural plan;
- obtaining, from the first data file, a list of walls to automatically generate a second data file that contains a list of panels to be constructed from the list of walls;
- generating, with a build manager, a set of commands to build a panel from the list of panels using a robotic builder having robotic machines configured to build the panel:
- selecting one or more robotic machines to build the panel based at least on panel cost;
- outputting the set of commands to the one or more robotic machines, the set of commands containing instructions for the one or more robotic machines to build the panel;
- and
- building, with the one or more robotic machines the panel based on the set of commands.
