The research focuses on the development of a cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) as an innovative and alternative method for in-situ construction. The working prototype is highly flexible incorporating strength, portability and modularity to ensure the provision of a physical platform for construction. Its target application is for small structures such as the construction of single family homes, coach houses, etc. This is achieved through pick-and-place operations of prefabricated assemblies. The development of a CDPR as an alternative method for in-situ construction is centered around a prefabricated methodology. The intended goal is to automate the assembly and construction process as a means to significantly reduce construction costs by minimizing construction timelines, reducing labor costs and overall waste generated on-site.
