HEPHAESTUS—Highly Automated Physical Achievements and Performances Using Cable Robots Unique Systems

Abstract

Highly automatEd PHysical Achievements and performancES using cable roboTs Unique Systems (HEPHAESTUS) is a Horizon 2020 EU-funded project carried out by 9 partners from across Europe that addresses novel concepts to introduce Robotics and Autonomous Systems use in construction, where this type of products is minor or almost non-existent. It focuses to give novel solutions to one of the most important fields in construction, the field related to the façades, and the works that need to be done when this part of a building is built or needs maintenance. HEPHAESTUS proposes new automatized ways to install these products, providing a whole solution not only highly industrialised in production but also in installation and maintenance.
