Design and Fabrication of Automatic Wall Plastering Machine Prototype

Abstract

The building construction is one of the most unfamiliar R&D activities in the robotics and automation community. Nevertheless, the building construction is one of the oldest and largest economic sectors. Intense competition, shortages of skilled labor, increase in labour cost and technological advances are forcing rapid change in the building construction. Building construction is divided into two large groups: commercial infrastructure and residential building. Both areas are needed plastering work for increasing the quality of construction. Machines has been developed to automate the plastering work is very much demand for construction field. It includes microcontroller, relay, AC/DC motor, fabricated structure, display, belt drives etc. The present work highlights the design and developments of prototype in this area and also a new model is proposed to automate the plastering work. Initially the model was developed and fabricated for considering the normal constructed brick wall. The completed model was validated by testing the machine using the brick wall and the statistical details of the manual work are also observed at the different conditions.
