미 네바다대 미술관 짓는데 동원된 벽돌쌓기 로봇 '샘 100'


반자동 적산 로봇으로 로봇 팔을 이용해 벽돌 위에 모르타르를 놓는다.


네바다 대학의 새 미술관은 3층 건물에 약 10만 개의 벽돌을 설치해야 하지만 네바다 주에서 최초로 벽돌의 약 60%를 벽돌 쌓는 로봇인 샘이 시공하게 된다.


반자동화된 SAM은 건설 시간과 비용을 줄이고 네바다의 건설 노동력 부족을 돕기 위해 3,500만 달러 규모의 프로젝트에 사용되고 있다. 이 장치는 로봇 팔, 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 및 재료 공급 시스템을 사용하여 8초마다 벽돌 1개씩을 쌓는다.

The University of Nevada’s new Arts Building will require about 100,000 bricks to be installed in the three-story building. But for the first time in Nevada, about 60% of those bricks will be laid by SAM, a bricklaying robot.


SAM, which stands for Semi-Automated Mason, is being used on the $35.5 million project to cut construction time and costs and help with Nevada’s construction labor shortage. The device uses a robotic arm, computer programming, and a materials-feeder system to lay bricks at a rate of about one brick every eight seconds.




The robotic, metal arm spreads mortar on brick and uses a laser-guided system to lay rows. According to Q&D Construction, the project’s general contractor, SAM can accomplish the work of five masons.


The robot is designed to work on large, uninterrupted walls, which means the first five feet of an area, corners, and around windows must be done by hand by a mason. Additionally, humans are still needed to set up the Hydro-Mobile scaffolding, program the design, load bricks and mortar, align the row, clean the mortar joints, and do the finishing touches to set the brick. Even with all of the human help still needed, SAM sped up the brick veneer installation process by 50%.


When completed, the Arts Building will feature a 287-seat recital hall, a new art museum, a fabrication lab, an electroacoustic lab, soundproof rehearsal spaces, music practice rooms, faculty office spaces, and a recording studio. Construction is slated to complete in the fall with the grand opening held during Spring 2019 semester.
