New data acquisition technology for indoor environments and process algorithms for BIM integration

The AUTO-BIM project is framed within redevelopment and quality control activities of building works.
The main objective of the AUTO-BIM project is the creation and validation of a new methodology for the acquisition, processing and management of three-dimensional spatial data in indoor spaces without GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) coverage. This data acquisition will be carried out automatedly by an autonomous mobile robot and the obtained data will be integrated in standardized BIM (Building Information Modelling) information models.
The intended results are time savings, systematization and overall improvement in the redefinition and quality control of building works, computerizing the whole process of monitoring the evolution of works and the detection of deviations from what was planned. This results in cost reduction, faster building works and quality improvement.
AIMEN is in charge of the development of the autonomous mobile robot system that navigates the interior of the works, avoiding usual obstacles in the building works, and will be responsible for the acquisition of 3D data, which are later processed by other partners.
