ACTOR Streamlines construction with automation and AI - Video

ACTOR is a research project that aims at solving critical construction problems with real-time situational awareness. A trustworthy situation picture is a prerequisite for effective planning, task management, and logistics. Productivity improvements also have a direct impact on a construction project's carbon emissions.

The March 27, 2024 ACTOR webinar discussed how robotics, sensors, AI, machine learning, extended reality, and standardized data make real-time situational awareness possible. ACTOR's company partners showcased the technologies developed during the project.

The agenda:

1. Introduction - Olli Seppänen, Aalto University
2. Automating material management - Ari Viitanen, Carinafour
3. Data-driven optimization - Ulla Tikkanen, KONE
4. Robotized data capture - Kim Nyberg, Trimble
5. Digital twin of a project - Tomi Pitkäranta, Flow Technologies
