ETH Zurich have developed a method to build 6m-tall dry stone walls using autonomous excavators. This can be used as a foundation for concrete walls, which will lead to increased resource efficiency.

In a move that aims to further the circular economy of the construction industry, researchers at ETH Zurich have let an autonomous excavator loose on a big pile of boulders and reclaimed concrete. The ...

Building a wall by precisely stacking randomly shaped boulders could almost be the definition of hard work – both physically and mentally. It's the sort of thing we might want robots to do one day, so ...

ETH Zurich researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tonnes and demolition debris. * dry stone wall construction has involved vast ...

Until today, dry stone wall construction has involved vast amounts of manual labour. A multidisciplinary team of ETH Zurich researchers developed a method of using an autonomous excavator to construct ...

A mobile court in Sylhet's Gowainghat has destroyed 25 excavators, locally known as boma machines, and other earthmoving equipment used for extracting stone illegally from the Pyain River ruining the ...

Archaeologists in Sweden dug up 139 Viking Age graves when excavating a Stone Age settlement. Along with human and animal remains, the team found three large ship-forming stone settings and a ship ...

ETH Zurich researchers deployed an autonomous excavator, called HEAP, to build a six metre-high and sixty-five-metre-long dry-stone wall. The wall is embedded in a digitally planned and autonomously ...
