In January 2014, Dalloro’s team set out to create a mobile manufacturing platform. A spider robot with low battery can find its way back to the charging station and alert the other robot to take over the task, enabling seamless completion of work. Using algorithms and software they are able to plan and organize the collaboration. The SiSpis not only work together, they also talk to each to each other. If you have several working together they can achieve the objective faster, says Livio Dalloro, who heads the product design, modeling and simulation research group at Siemens Corporate Technology. “We wanted to use robots in collaboration because at the end of the day they are general purpose machines that build and move over time. It’s a fully autonomous spider-like robot, which can work collaboratively with others of its kind to 3D print complex structures and surfaces.ĭeveloped by Siemens researchers in Princeton, NJ, autonomous robot prototypes called SiSpis or Siemens Spiders could potentially accelerate the production of large-scale structures, such as car bodies and airplane fuselages, and advance mobile manufacturing.
