ShieldBot is a member of the Tech4EUconstruction cluster. Funded in 2022 by BEEYONDERS, HumanTech, and RoBétArmé projects, and supported by the European Commission, the Cluster aims to develop and demonstrate new technologies to further digitalise and automatise the European construction sector, targeting to increase its safety and attractivity for workers.
The Cluster is open to other EU-funded projects working on AI and Robotics in Construction willing to collaborate on different aspects, such as joint promotional and dissemination activities, mutual exchange of expertise and technical innovations, and co-creation of workshops and events. Finally, the Cluster seeks to stimulate the EU’s sovereignty in the industry.

The projects involved
BEEYONDERS produces, commercialises, and integrates beyond the state-of-the-art solutions into real construction scenarios, making extensive use of AI, automation, and digitisation.
HumanTech advances innovative, human-centred technologies to help make the construction industry safer, greener, more efficient, and more attractive to a new generation of highly skilled workers.
RoBétArmé has created a human-robot collaborative construction system for shotcrete digitisation and automation through advanced perception, cognition, mobility, and additive manufacturing.
Reincarnate has developed a platform to provide information on the life cycles and reuse potential of construction materials and methods, enabling the prediction and extension of product lifetimes.
BIM2TWIN aims to provide the construction sector with a breakthrough platform for construction management. An innovative tool based on the Digital Building Twin (DBT) concept, enriched by functionalities related to real-time data collection and end-user applications.
InCUBE envisions to unlock the EU renovation wave through cutting-edge standardised and integrated processes based on industrialisation, innovative renewable energy technologies, digitalisation, and new market entrants.
HERON is creating an automated system for comprehensive road maintenance. The project also includes automating pre/post-intervention phases, such as visual inspections and controlled handling of traffic cones, aiming to improve overall roadwork efficiency.
DTERBIM is shaping the future of construction and renovation through an innovative design and project delivery methodology. They aim to make managing building projects more efficient by optimising resources, reducing time and costs, and embedding circularity principles from the start.
RECONMATIC aims to integrate life-cycle construction and demolition waste management into all phases of built structures, from planning and design to construction, operation, repurposing, and deconstruction.
DISCOVER aims to revolutionise the construction and demolition industry by developing an advanced system for the autonomous, synchronous and continuous identification and analysis of materials in end-of-life built environments.
