ABB and AUAR create sustainable construction research facility
ABB and AUAR announced a research facility combining robotic automation with timber construction and housing-manufacturing workflows.
Evidence notes
- The collaboration links ABB industrial robotics with AUAR’s distributed microfactory approach.
- Research focuses on lower-waste, digitally coordinated timber construction.
- The facility provides a test environment for automated building-system production.
Company context
AUAR deploys robotic MicroFactories on demand for timber-panel production, pairing containerised hardware with MasterBuilder design-to-production software and an AUAR operator. Homebuilders pay per square foot of panel output instead of purchasing a factory.
