SommerAI is developing industrial robotics to automate rebar assembly for PCI/NPCA certified facilities. Our long term goal is to fully automate precast concrete production.
Tyler
The rebar assembly robot
Our fully autonomous unit for assembling and tying rebar structures including wall panels, girders, double Ts, beams, piles, tunnel segments, and more.
Being built on the feedback collected from 30 PCI certified precast concrete producers to increase manufacturing efficiency and safety.
Software
Computer vision to recognize rebar, layouts, and perform quality inspections.
Reinforcement Learning to adapt to different environments and perform self correction.
Fully autonomous and capable of operating with minimal human supervision.
Hardware
Custom gripper to grasp different rebar sizes.
Custom tying mechanism to perform tight ties.
Platform options like stationary, rails, or gantry to adapt to factory layouts.
