"Charlotte is the product of innovative minds combining Crest Robotics' advanced robotics with Earthbuilt Technology's unique extrusion and compaction systems. The result is a fully autonomous, spider-like robot that is lightweight and highly adaptable. Charlotte delivers a construction solution that is affordable, fast, and low in carbon emissions. She offers answers to both space-age challenges and real-world housing demands. Designers: Crest Robotics and Earthbuilt Technology Based in Delray Beach, Florida, the digital craftsmanship behind Charlotte makes her more than just a robot."
"She comes equipped with a special extrusion system attached to her undercarriage. This system collects readily available materials such as sand, earth, and even waste products like crushed brick. These materials are bound in fabric and compressed into structural layers. The layers form the walls of a building using a process that is efficient, sustainable, and much less carbon-intensive compared to standard construction."
"Charlotte's creators have set an ambitious goal: for her to construct a 200 square meter home in just one day using Earthbuilt's sustainable building system. This rapid pace could redefine how quickly and affordably homes are built, especially in areas facing urgent housing shortages. But Charlotte's capabilities go beyond Earth. Her lightweight frame allows her to fold up compactly for transport to the Moon or beyond."
Charlotte is an autonomous, spider-like construction robot developed by Crest Robotics and Earthbuilt Technology that extrudes and compacts local materials to build structures. The robot collects sand, earth, and waste materials like crushed brick, binds them in fabric, and compresses them into structural layers that form building walls. The system is designed to be fast, affordable, and much lower in carbon emissions than conventional construction. Designers aim for Charlotte to build a 200 square meter home in one day. The robot is lightweight and folds compactly for transport, enabling use on the Moon and other off-Earth locations.
