The University of Southern Denmark (SDU), through its CREATE lab, conducts extensive, cutting-edge research in 'Robotics in 3D Concrete Printing.' This work focuses on computational design, structural optimization, and generating optimized robot code for complex concrete structures using industrial robotic arms, such as the ABB 6650S Industrial Robot and Concrete Extrusion System. SDU aims to revolutionize sustainable concrete construction through digital prefabrication and off-site fabrication methods. This innovative approach is designed to reduce embodied CO2 emissions and use less material compared to conventional cast concrete. By focusing on integration into existing workflows, SDU's technology offers easy adoption for a greener building and architectural sector.
