Droplet: Towards Autonomous Underwater Assembly of Modular Structures

RSS 2021poster

This paper presents a first low-cost autonomous robotic system for underwater assembly of mortarless structures. The long-term goal is to enable the construction of large-scale underwater structures; such as retaining walls and artificial reefs. The approach follows the principle of co-design; the 2…

Falling Into Place: Drop Assembly of Interlocking Puzzles

RSS 2021poster

This paper explores a system for assembling structures by dropping block components into place. During and after assembly; the blocks are held together by geometric interlock; so that fasteners or mortar are only needed to bind the final block to one of its neighbors. Drop assembly is a promising st…
