Abstract:
1. A portable robotic casting apparatus for casting volumetric modular building components, the apparatus comprising: a. a set of portable stationary structural components adapted to be assembled and secured at a casting site, in a configuration that remains stationary to support molding surfaces for molding casting material; b. a set of portable mobile structural components adapted to be assembled at the site in movable configurations, also to support molding surfaces, and connected to the stationary structures using a set of actuators that control the movements of the mobile structural components; c. a set of stationary portable molding surfaces adapted to be assembled at the site and secured to the stationary structures to form a stationary component of the mold; d. a set of mobile portable molding surfaces adapted to be assembled at the site and secured to the mobile structural components to cooperate with the stationary portable molding surfaces to form a mold for the volumetric modular building components, the mold defining at least two transverse walls, a longitudinal wall extending between the transverse walls, and a floor adjoining the transverse and longitudinal walls; e. at least one lifting mechanism for lifting and rotating the volumetric modular building components onto a transport after casting.
