SCHINDLER DEBUTS AUTONOMOUS, SELF-CLIMBING ROBOT
As part of a research collaboration with the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), Schindler announced its Robotics Installation System for Elevators (R.I.S.E.) on October 17. To be displayed at the CTBUH 2018 Conference in Dubai on October 21-25, the autonomous, self-climbing robot intended to safely install elevators in high-rise buildings. The technology was recently used to install several elevators in tall buildings in Europe. R.I.S.E. was developed to eliminate the repetitive, physically demanding work of drilling multiple holes in concrete walls to set anchor bolts for guide rails with greater precision. According to Schindler, R.I.S.E. is "paving the way for greater automation and digitization in the elevator industry" and improves worker safety and quality. The two-year partnership with CTBUH is focused on research into robotics and automation processes in the construction of tall buildings.
