Dual-Arm Construction Robot for Automatic Fixation of Structural Parts to Concrete Surfaces in Narrow Environments
Fixation of structural parts to concrete is a repetitive, heavy-duty, and time-consuming task that requires automation due to the lack of skilled construction workers. Previously developed automation techniques have not achieved the complete fixation of structural parts and are difficult to implement in narrow construction environments. In this study, we propose a construction robot system that enables the complete installation of structural parts to concrete and can be easily introduced to uns…

Mekler's Construction and Murphy's Law for 2-Nilpotent Groups
Mekler's construction is a powerful technique for building purely algebraic structures from combinatorial ones. Its power lies in the fact that it allows various model-theoretic tameness properties of the combinatorial structure to transfer to the algebraic one. In this paper, we push this ideology much further, describing a broad class of properties that transfer through Mekler's construction. This technique subsumes many well-known results and opens avenues for many more. As a straightforwa…

Particles.
The energy sending them afar is here. And it’s not. People see the burning. But they cannot fathom the coal plants, close, far.
How many particles can power plants send travelling? How can you know? You.

Alerte aux molécules chimiques : des scientifiques plaident pour la création d'un Giec de la chimie planétaire
Ces molécules chimiques se retrouvent aussi bien dans les matériaux de construction que dans les médicaments ou l'alimentation. Si elles sont nécessaires, leur accumulation peut avoir un impact non négligeable sur la pollution.

Automated Construction of Theme-specific Knowledge Graphs
Despite widespread applications of knowledge graphs (KGs) in various tasks such as question answering and intelligent conversational systems, existing KGs face two major challenges: information granularity and deficiency in timeliness. These hinder considerably the retrieval and analysis of in-context, fine-grained, and up-to-date knowledge from KGs, particularly in highly specialized themes (e.g., specialized scientific research) and rapidly evolving contexts (e.g., breaking news or disaster t…

Towards Human-Centered Construction Robotics: An RL-Driven Companion Robot For Contextually Assisting Carpentry Workers
In the dynamic construction industry, traditional robotic integration has primarily focused on automating specific tasks, often overlooking the complexity and variability of human aspects in construction workflows. This paper introduces a human-centered approach with a ``work companion rover" designed to assist construction workers within their existing practices, aiming to enhance safety and workflow fluency while respecting construction labor's skilled nature. We conduct an in-depth study on …
