ATRIS has moved us significantly closer to that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages of the robotic AI system for tunnel construction<\/h3>\n<p>The prototype Automated Tunnel Robotic Installation System (ATRIS) is a groundbreaking innovation for tunnel construction.<\/p>\n<p>It can autonomously select brackets, locate their precise mounting positions on the tunnel wall, and install them, significantly reducing the risks associated with manual labour.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the robotic AI system would eliminate the need to work at height in confined spaces and the hard-arm vibration workers experience during installation.<\/p>\n<p>Once fully developed, the system is expected to increase productivity by 40% due to faster installation and reduce installation costs for new mechanical and electrical systems by 30%.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ATRIS - Automated Tunnel Robotic Installation System (short)\"

clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It will also cut construction plant movements by 40% to decrease embodied carbon.<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas Beedle, group operations director at VVB Engineering, said: \u201cTunnel works historically are expensive to build and maintain and in the higher risk bracket for safety during construction and operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe development of the robotic AI solution is a step towards solving both of these industry challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Developing the new system<\/h3>\n<p>The 22-month project was led by TES, which developed the initial concept in partnership with the consortium.<\/p>\n<p>MTC used its expertise in robotics and automation to direct the design and manufacture of the robot\u2019s end effectors.<\/p>\n<p>i3D developed the visualisation software, while Costain and VVB provided industry knowledge and expertise in tunnel construction and fit-out requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The project was partly funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukri.org\/councils\/innovate-uk\/guidance-for-applicants\/guidance-for-specific-funds\/smart-innovation-funding-guidance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innovate UK\u2019s Smart grant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Nesbitt, chief technologist for the Built Environment at MTC, concluded: \u201cBy contributing our expertise to this project, we are paving the way for construction companies to adopt technology for greater control and structuring of on-site works, making infrastructure delivery safer, more productive, and more sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
