Two major tall building projects have benefited from robotic-style technology in recent months to speed construction time and keep employees safe while working at height.
The project team for the 50 Hudson Yards in New York City relied on an Italian-made machine that hydraulically climbs up the side of a building to provide structure and walkways for workers as they construct the building s steel frame. Once several floors worth of steel is in place, the Despe Self-Climbing Kokoon retracts the walkways, activates its hydraulic cylinders and jacks itself up to the next tiers.
Suspended from the building s columns and driven by its own onboard generator, the Kokoon can travel between floors without the aid of a crane or even stopping work on the site, according to the Despe website.

Warsaw claims to have the tallest skyscraper in the European Union after workers mounted an 80-meter needle bringing the total height of the building to over 310 meters, developer HB Reavis said.
But, despite its unique architecture and the fact that it is now taller than London s Shard and Frankfurt s Commerzbank Tower, some of the building s ambitions have been hampered due to the coronavirus pandemic, the developer added.
