A tile laying device has a main frame supported on wheels for rolling movement along a ground surface. A pendulum frame is supported on the main frame to be freely suspended from the main frame while being adjustable in height relative to the ground surface by tilting the main frame about the axis of the wheels. Suction cups on the pendulum frame allow a tile to be coupled to the tiles using vacuum pressure from a vacuum pump on the main frame. The suction cups can be shifted laterally in a direction of the pendulum axis relative to the main frame to assist in aligning a tile on the pendulum frame with a desired placement location for the tile.

A construction board installation robot comprises a frame with attached devices to securely hold and subsequently affix to a substructure a construction board, a robotic system consisting multiple joints and links to position the frame, and a cart containing ancillary equipment needed for the completion of the desired task and the ability to move and position the entire assembly under its own power. Positioning is determined dynamically utilizing a series of laser scanners and optical sensors. To assist a laborer with the mounting of boards, the arm and cart are capable of being easily maneuvered either through the use of integrated sensors that direct the actuation of the arm and/or cart wheels as determined by the push or pull of the operator on the device, a method of remote control, and/or independently with control software.

A modular system for setting flooring transitions with adequate pressure during setup and curing of adhesive. The floor-transition-setting system includes a plurality of members such as a connector-body, a plurality of extension-bodies, a plurality of leg-members, and a plurality of pressure-feet. The connector-tubular-body being in functional and adjustable combination with each of the plurality of female-push-button-couplers. Each of the plurality of extension-bodies has a male-push-button-adjuster-coupler and an extension-tubular-body. The system may include one or more assemblies and may be configured without the use of tools.
