VOLVO AWT Builder (Autonomic Wind Turbine Builder)

Renewable energy is the future! An ultra-modern autonomic machine has been designed to build up wind turbines in a very fast and efficient way. This “green” machine is being completely charged with solar energy. The four cameras attached are the eyes of this fully automatic building machine. And thanks to the drone, there is a complete overview on the surroundings. An extra robot does the finishing work.

How it works? The different parts of the wind turbine are scanned by the cameras and drone. The information is automatically transmitted to the AWT Builder after which the arm of the machine starts to build the wind turbine part by part. The extra robot fastens the screws.

Functions:
Rotates 360°.
Extendable arm with fine grip.
Landing platform for drone and robot.
12 fully rotatable wheels.
Collapsible solar panels.
Counterweights at the back.
Continued energy provided by the solar panels, a charging station and 2 extra back-up batteries.

Remote controller for emergencies.
