Automatic RI Test Robot

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Takenaka Civil Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. have jointly developed the "Automatic RI Test Robot" to automate embankment compaction tests.

We are using construction sites with harsh conditions as application fields to promote research and development of robot technologies that could be used in space.

We are developing a robot that can automatically check the density of embankments during construction. With this robot, we can save on quality control labor that used to require manual daily inspections.

I come from a background in civil engineering construction management. With this experience, I now work on the development of technologies that make the daily work of construction management easier. I envision a smart construction site that makes active use of robots.
