Abstract:
An automated drywalling system for cutting and/or hanging drywall that includes one or more vision systems and a computing device executing a computational planner. The computational planner obtains target wall assembly data from the one or more vision systems, the target wall assembly data including information regarding a configuration of a target wall assembly including a plurality of studs that define a portion of the target wall assembly; and generates a plan for a configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly based on the target wall assembly data.

Claim (Index 1):
An automated drywalling system for cutting drywall and hanging drywall on a wall assembly, the automated drywalling system comprising:\n a base unit that includes:\n a platform, \n a cart configured to be disposed on and move on the ground, and \n a lift disposed between the platform and cart, the lift configured to raise the platform up and down; \n an elongated robotic arm that extends between a base end and a distal end, the robotic arm coupled to the base unit on the platform at the base end of the robotic arm; a cutting end effector configured to be coupled at the distal end of the robotic arm, the cutting end effector including a cutting head configured for cutting drywall; a hanging end effector configured to be coupled at the distal end of the robotic arm, the hanging end effector configured to hang pieces of drywall on a wall assembly; one or more vision systems; one or more sensors; a computing device executing a computational planner that:\n obtains target wall assembly data from the one or more vision systems and the one or more sensors, the target wall assembly data including information regarding a configuration of a target wall assembly including a plurality of studs that define a portion of the target wall assembly; \n automatically generates, a plan for a configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly based on the target wall assembly data; \n automatically generates, instructions for driving the cutting end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform at least one cutting task that includes the cutting end effector cutting one or more pieces of drywall to generate cut pieces of drywall having a configuration based on the generated plan for the configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly; \n automatically drives, the cutting end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform the at least one cutting task to generate the cut pieces of drywall having a configuration based on the generated plan for the configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly; \n automatically generates instructions for driving the hanging end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform at least one hanging task that includes the hanging end effector hanging the cut pieces of drywall on studs of the target wall assembly, the generation of instructions for the at least one hanging task being based on the plan for the configuration of a plurality of drywall pieces to be disposed on studs of the target wall assembly; and \n automatically drives the hanging end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform the at least one hanging task to hang the cut pieces of drywall on studs of the target wall assembly.
