ACTOR Streamlines construction with automation and AI - Video
ACTOR is a research project that aims at solving critical construction problems with real-time situational awareness. A trustworthy situation picture is a prerequisite for effective planning, task management, and logistics. Productivity improvements also have a direct impact on a construction project's carbon emissions.
The March 27, 2024 ACTOR webinar discussed how robotics, sensors, AI, machine learning, extended reality, and standardized data make real-time situational awareness possible. ACTOR's company partners showcased the technologies developed during the project.
The agenda:
- Introduction - Olli Seppänen, Aalto University
- Automating material management - Ari Viitanen, Carinafour
- Data-driven optimization - Ulla Tikkanen, KONE
- Robotized data capture - Kim Nyberg, Trimble
- Digital twin of a project - Tomi Pitkäranta, Flow Technologies
