Abstract
A method for modular manufacturing of a structural unit, the method including affixing a plurality of structural components to an automated assembly system, wherein the plurality of structural components includes at least one roof and at least one wall, orienting the plurality of structural components using the automated assembly system, securing each of the plurality of structural components together using one or more precision locking mechanisms, forming a structural unit with the plurality of structural components and removing the automated assembly system from the structural unit.
Claims10
A method for modular manufacturing of a structural unit, the method comprising:
- affixing a plurality of structural components to an automated assembly system, wherein the plurality of structural components comprises at least one roof and at least one wall;
- orienting the plurality of structural components using the automated assembly system, wherein orienting the plurality of structural components comprises:
- identifying a defective component within the plurality of structural components using a machine vision system of the automated assembly system;
- triggering an automatic intervention by activating an auxiliary robotic arm of the automated assembly system to remove the defective component;
- and
- replacing the defective component with another structural component using the automated assembly system;
- securing each of the plurality of structural components together using one or more precision locking mechanisms;
- forming a structural unit from the plurality of structural components;
- and
- removing the automated assembly system from the structural unit.
