AUTOMATED DRYWALL CUTTING AND HANGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
An automated drywalling system having a computing device executing a computational planner that generates, before hanging any of a plurality of drywall pieces, a plan for a configuration of a plurality of cut pieces of drywall to be disposed on studs of a target wall assembly including a plurality of seams respectively defined by adjoining edges of different pairs of drywall pieces of the plurality of cut pieces of drywall, the plan for the configuration generated based at least in part on an optimization of the plurality of cut pieces of drywall.
Portable EPS panel rasping platform
A portable rasping platform for rasping a top surface of a wall panel includes a plurality of adjustable leveling supports, a pair of support rails, and a drum rasp assembly. The drum rasp assembly includes a drum rasp, a motor coupled to the drum rasp and configured to rotate the drum rasp at a suitable speed, and a truss frame supporting the drum rasp and configured to roll along the pair of support rails. The pair of support rails are configured to be positioned on the plurality of adjustable leveling supports arranged in parallel a certain space apart, and the plurality of adjustable leveling supports are configured to support the wall panel. The drum rasp is configured to pass over and treat the top surface of the wall panel as the drum rasp assembly is displaced along the pair of support rails.
AUTOMATED DRYWALL PLANNING SYSTEM AND METHOD
An automated drywalling system network that including one or more automated drywalling systems that each has a robotic arm. The automated drywalling system network can also include a computational planner that generates instructions for the one or more automated drywalling systems to perform two or more drywalling tasks associated with a target wall assembly. The two or more drywalling tasks can include a hanging task that includes hanging pieces of drywall on studs of the target wall assembly; a mudding task that includes applying joint compound to pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; a sanding task that includes sanding joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; and a painting task that includes painting sanded the joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly.
Automated drywall cutting and hanging system and method
An automated drywalling system for cutting and/or hanging drywall that includes one or more vision systems and a computing device executing a computational planner. The computational planner obtains target wall assembly data from the one or more vision systems, the target wall assembly data including information regarding a configuration of a target wall assembly including a plurality of studs that define a portion of the target wall assembly; and generates a plan for a configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly based on the target wall assembly data.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A UNIFORM TEXTURE TO A SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL SURFACE
A surfacing apparatus supported adjacent a substantially vertical surface of a structure for applying an even and uniform texture to the surface of the structure using a selectively adjustable force exerted on a texturing means to engage the surface of the structure. The surfacing apparatus is suited for horizontal and vertical movement in controlled prescribed paths under controlled and prescribed pressure from the adjustable tensioning means.

Attachment and handling device with an attachment
An attachment for a mobile handling device is configured for processing walls or ceilings. The attachment comprises a mounting unit that is arranged to be supported at a mounting interface of the handling device, a processing head that is arranged to be equipped with at least one tool for material-removing processing or smoothing processing, and a compensation arrangement that is arranged between the mounting unit and the processing head and that defines a longitudinal axis. The mounting unit provides at least two pivot positions for the attachment that are offset from one another. The processing head is movable relative to the mounting unit in a longitudinal direction along the longitudinal axis. The compensation arrangement is configured to provide a defined contact pressure force for the processing head in a defined operating range along the longitudinal axis towards the surface to be processed.
Wall polisher for building decoration
This invention discloses a wall polisher for building decoration of this invention, comprising a main body, a housing fixedly arranged on one end of the main body, a slot with an opening towards one end disposed in the housing, a handle fixedly set on the top end face of the main body, standing bases up and down symmetrically disposed on one end face of the main body, a pushing cushion which is fixedly connected to one end face of the main body arranged between the two standing bases; wherein the housing is attached on the rough wall surface with the handle held and the push force applied to the pushing cushion; a dust collecting device which is dismountable disposed on the bottom of the housing; wherein the dust produced during polishing is collected by the dust collecting device, which prevents the dust from spreading to pollute the environment.
