Digital, autonomous, Intelligent and Synchronous system for Continuous identification, Optimization and Value Extraction of Resources from the end-of-use built environment
DISCOVER aims to revolutionize the construction and demolition industry by developing an advanced system for the autonomous, synchronous, and continuous identification and analysis of materials in end-of-life built environments
Creating a set of autonomous and synchronous robotics systems for the precise analysis, identification and digitization of materials and construction components from existing built works
Creating an integrated digital framework to synchronously process and visualize the data brought by the system, leveraging on the wealth of information on the BIM digital twin
Enhancing the circularity of construction and building elements and materials by an improved identification and management of deconstruction methods
Developing a sustainability assessment framework to guide demolition methods, considering reuse and recycling of demolition assets
Fostering the adoption of robotic systems and collaborative BIM tools within the work processes in the construction industry
