Requirements, Preferences & Constraints

Requirements

• Grabbing and releasing Duplo® building blocks

• Stacking the building blocks to construct a building

• Autonomously carrying out a set building plan

Preferences

• On-site setup of the robot is easy and fast

• The construction built is as robust as possible

• Bystanders’ safety is ensured

• The robot is as cheap as possible

Constraints

• Placement precision has to be in the order of 10^{^-4} m

• The robot has to be able to reach the top of the building

• The budget depends on dr. Molengraft’s level of interest

USE Aspects

User

• The construction robot will reduce the workload of the construction workers.
• The construction robot will reduce the amount of danger construction workers are exposed to.
• The construction robot will lead to a quicker realisation time of the building, which in turn leads to:
  • Quicker accessibility for potential future residents.
  • Construction workers not having to works on the same project for too long.

Society

• The quicker realisation time of buildings the construction robot provides, will lead to a more efficient construction sector, which in turn leads to:
  • The construction sector being more able to keep up with society’s demand for more living room.
  • Possibly lower house costs due to reduced construction costs. This makes buy houses more accessible to a bigger audience.

Enterprise

• The quicker realisation time of buildings can save construction companies a lot of money due to being able to do more projects in less time.
• The construction robot can save construction companies money on wages for construction workers
• The construction robot can help construction companies compete better on the market.
