The robotic microfactories are designed to fabricate structural wall panels on-site with high precision, aiming to speed up the construction of new homes

In the wake of devastating wildfires, Swiss-based industrial automation firm ABB has partnered with Cosmic Buildings, a California construction startup, to roll out mobile robotic microfactories capable of building modular homes directly at construction sites.

The first deployment is underway in Pacific Palisades, according to the companies.

The robotic microfactories are designed to fabricate structural wall panels on-site with high precision, aiming to speed up the construction of new homes while reducing labor needs and material waste. The technology combines ABB’s industrial robots and digital twin software with Cosmic’s AI-powered
