The 'giant tower'

At present, the FRAC Center in Orleans, France, is hosting an exhibition on assembled flight robots, with the construction of a 6m high tower with 1500 pre-polished polygons. The exhibition was designed by Swiss architect Gramazio and Italian robot designer Raffaello D'Andrea for the purpose of introducing a new design thinking approach, such as " the formation of motive force."

The construction process was carried out by a ' helicopter ' squadron that was engineered to interact, transport and assemble, receiving commands via WiFi from the control room. With a height of about 6m, a 3.5m diameter built in space of 10x10x10m, about 50 vehicles can work together and will be accurately tracked each millimeter at 370 fps.

Each flying robot is equipped with sensors that allow for precise control as well as integrated programming such as circular or spiral trajectory, which makes the construction process more efficient. The technology also helps robots avoid collisions during work, and also applies the automation technology in takeoff, landing and vehicle calibration.

The 'assembly architecture' exhibition takes place February 12-19 at the FRAC Center.
