Robotic Embankment Prototype

ROBOTIC EMBANKMENT PROTOTYPE, Summer 2020, ETH Zurich. Free-form autonomous formation in terrain with HEAP. This experiment with HEAP (Hydraulic Excavator for Autonomous Purposes) demonstrates our latest research in on-site and mobile digital fabrication with found materials. The embankment prototype in natural granular material was achieved using state of the art design and construction processes in mapping, modelling, planning and control. The entire process of building the embankment was fully autonomou
