Weston Robot Show Robots and Exoskeletons at BuildTech Aisa 2022
2022-03-19 13:22:13
At BuildTech Aisa 2022, Minister of State for National Development Kiat How Tan trying out exoskeletons which reduces fatigue and provides support during manual labor. We also demonstrated how to use robot dogs for patrolling and inspection jobs, and UGV for various construction jobs.

To help construction companies combat with the manpower shortage due to the COVID-19, Weston Robot has developed various solutions including material handling robot within the construction site, inspection and patrolling robot for daily progress reporting, disinfection robot, and exoskeletons for construction workers to reduce the fatigue, and increase the work productivity.

Construction sites are normally unstructured environments and construction jobs often take place at different heights, thus making robot automation a very challenging task. In developed countries such as Japan and USA, where there the majority (if not all) portion of construction workers are local employees with different ages, assistive exoskeletons are widely used. Depending on the job requirements, back support exoskeleton (e.g., backX), leg/knee support exoskeleton (e.g., legX) and shoulder/neck support exoskeleton (e.g., shoulderX/neckX) are widely adopted to help workers reduce fatigue and improve the work productivity. In Singapore, we see the trends of adopting exoskeletons in constructions amid of the COVID-19.

Although automation is a very challenging task at construction sites, we do slowly roll out robotics solutions for some relatively easily automated jobs, for example, material handling using our tracked robots within the construction sites (automation is not needed), daily patrolling and progress reporting using our robot dogs, and disinfection robots with our robot base Hunter.

    Weston Robot Launches Robots to Combat COVID-19

    Weston Robot (Singapore) launches mobile robots to combat COVID-19. The mobile disinfection robots enable disinfection using chemicals for open area, and UV lights for enclosed spaces (MRT and dormitory). The mobile temperature screening robots proactively search for persons with abnormal body temperature. It can also be used for mask detection and social distance measuring.
