Self-Climbing Robot used to Natigate Elevator Shafts
This contractor is using Schindler R.I.S.E, which is a self-climbing robot designed to navigate elevator shafts independently while installing components with precision and speed.
Equipped with tools to drill holes and install anchor bolts, Schindler R.I.S.E significantly reduces human involvement in this part of the construction process, removing workers from the noisy,
repetitive, and dusty tasks of drilling and setting anchor bolts required for landing doors, divider beams, and wall brackets. These physically demanding tasks can lead to fatigue when performed at heights, but using a robot eliminates this risk.
The specialist operator monitors the robot’s movements via a remote-control panel, which not only accelerates work but also minimises risks of errors or rework.
The utilisation of Schindler R.I.S.E marks a significant milestone in construction automation in the UK. With over 600 skyscrapers currently planned across the country, this technology has the potential to transform elevator installation processes fundamentally.
