Mobile + Automated + Advanced Manufacturing & Construction

This research project has been funded by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory of the Army Corps of Engineers of the Department of Defense. The objective of this research is to develop mobile construction platforms equipped with advanced fabrication equipment for the rapid deployment and/or construction of temporary structures in austere environments. This research has yielded innovative advances in additive manufacturing through the utilization of an industrial robotic arm for 3D printing concrete.(Professor Erickson, PI and Professor Brakke, Co-PI with Justine Yu, Project Manager at the Army Corps of Engineers)
