An autonomous system for installing nail plates in wooden structures is provided. The system includes a C-clamp press attached to and be operated by a mobile robot. The C-clamp press includes a hydraulic cylinder operable to move a top plate relative to a stationary bottom plate; a coupler interposed between an end of the hydraulic cylinder and a the top plate; a stationary bottom plate; a top magnetic plate attached to the top plate; and a bottom magnetic plate attached to the bottom plate. Each of the top and bottom magnetic plates are configured to hold a nail plate and to embed the nail plate into a wooden member of a wooden structure when the C-clamp press is operated by the mobile robotic arm. The system further includes a computer vision system and a pressure sensor.

A system for producing and positioning multi-tire structural features is disclosed. The system includes a construction vehicle, an actuatable arm extending from the construction vehicle, and a grasper coupled to a distal end of the actuatable arm. The gasper includes a first moving member and a second moving member that are configured to be actuated toward one another when the first moving member is disposed within a first tire and the second moving member is disposed within a second tire. The first moving member comprises a staple driver that is configured to release and force a staple through tire walls of the first and second tires, and the second moving member comprises a staple fastener that is configured to at least partially close the staple after the staple penetrates the tire walls of the first and second tires in order to fasten the first and second tires together.
