Robots to handle fabrics for rapidly deployed structures The robots will position the structure’s textile materials, rotate them, and pull them taut while they are being heat sealed. 10th March 2021 Manipulating and joining together multiple pieces of large, heavy, waterproof fabric is being allocated to robots in a project aiming to improve the manufacturing of rapidly deployed structures. Such structures could prove vital in addressing shortages of medical care and quarantine facilities – as well as temporary housing needs – following a future pandemic or disaster.

TROY, N.Y. â The stress that COVID-19 has placed on medical facilities across the country highlights the need for safe, convenient, and functional surge capacity that can be used for hospital care or quarantine during a public health crisis. A new research effort led by a team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute aims to improve manufacturing of rapidly deployed structures in order to address future shortages of medical care and quarantine facilities, as well as housing needs following a disaster. This project will rely on the development of a group of self-aware, human-directed robots to...
