This automated wall-climbing robot was designed by Hausbots to streamline home-construction projects

Posted on by



HB1 is an automated wall-climbing robot that was designed to streamline home construction projects.

No matter the size, location, style, or chosen building material–when it comes to constructing houses, it can be a dangerous job. Even with bulky construction vehicles, building homes requires a lot of finesse and attention. As our technological worlds evolve, so do our tools and that includes those used for home construction. Home-building robotics company Hausbots developed an automated, climbing construction robot called HB1 to help get home projects done.

Designed with patent-pending wall climbing technology, HB1 hosts an entirely unique technical system that allows it to scale rough surfaces, overcome obstacles, and safely contribute to home-building. Finished with a payload of 6KG, HB1’s integrated technological system can streamline construction projects such as painting, HD visual inspection, as well as building processes. Hausbots outfitted HB1 42 KG of suction force, which allows the four-wheeled robot to scale vertical surfaces as far as 30m from ground level. HB1 can even climb vertical surfaces that are not totally flat as well, including columns, tanks, and corrugated terrain.

Ensuring HB1 steady movement up and down vertical walls, Hausbots crafted a chassis that creates high-speed airflow that converges with low pressure to generate downforce, allowing it to scale buildings of any size and height. In fact, if builders connect HB1 to a tether from the top of a building’s roof, there is no limit to the robot’s climbing range. For building projects that might call for dangerous jobs, such as painting the eaves of homes or replacing roof shingles, HB1’s built-in robotics serve to speed up the process and ensure a smooth landing.

HB1 features a four-wheeled build with 42KG suction force.

Featuring a 6KG pay load, HB1 can carry various loads to streamline home projects.

HB1 can climb any radius, including columnar structures.

When tethered to the roof, there is no limit to HB1’s climbing range.

As the amount of cultivatable land shrinks, so does the need for making new lands agriculturally favorable. Because much of the untouched terrain is treacherous, it requires a seriously tough tool for such a transformation to happen. Aptly named for its 6 figure wheel configuration, Triple V is capable of not just tackling any terrain but tilling or leveling it for a number of applications from farming to structural development.

This modular tractor concept is incredibly versatile and designed to be universally connectable to a myriad of accessories and equipment add-ons. To traverse difficult topography, it features an expanding frame that can increase both the width and wheel base of its six large tires, each of which feature independent suspension and power from inbuilt dedicated electric motors. In addition, it can be equipped with a diesel hybrid engine for extra oomph or when additional raw power is required.

When the going gets a little too tough for human operators to be present, Triple V can work autonomously with help from an integrated drone that surveys the land ahead and assists in mapping the most efficient and best method for leveling. When a human operator is present, they’ll be perched high above the action in an elevated cockpit that actually doubles as a detachable vehicle for traveling short distances back to headquarters or even home between shifts!

Ground Breaking Backhoe

Posted on by

Aaron Montford’s modern backhoe redesign features a more stable platform with an adjustable profile as well as higher arm reach and better maneuverability with four wheel steering capability. The most significant update is a side mounted retractable telescopic shovel arm that allows for increased range of motion and more stable digging without moving the entire machine. Newer technologies include a ground penetrating sonar system built directly into the shovel to prevent underground pipe and cable damage.
