Yes and It would be good to see this type of robot in other areas like installing anchors for stadium setting or hanging electrical conduit. Maybe also hauling concrete up to the current floor pour.....
This is a prime example of a task that robots are perfect for. Repetitive tasks that require a high degree of precision. This also removes workers from environments that pose risks of health and safety issue while completing task in a more efficient and speedy manner.
But when you have a scarcity of jobs in itself… that makes the job market be even smaller & competitive. Technology will eventually cause more people to be either extremely poor or extremely rich. No middle class.

I think the sustainable building is a building that can last through centuries. Instead of using sustainable materials or designs that will be obsolete 20-50 years later.
We're building like that nowadays because we need flexible constructions to keep up with the changing demand of cities (people living in it, and companies). You can't build a church for 500 years anymore and set it up somewhere. Even the stuff built long ago isn't actually used. It is just there because people like to look at those things most of the times. Or there is some museum in there. But people have to actually live in buildings. If you see an old building that is actually used there was lot of work done to keep it up to modern standards.
It depends on the carbon and environmental impact. The building could last longer but have enormous carbon and environmental impact, while a 30 year building needs to be replaced but has less impact.
@robertmusil1107 a large portion of the buildings in Britain are over 150 years old, there's plenty way older aswell. Most are still used today as homes, shops or offices. Yes they had to have services fitted, but that's a lot more sustainable than knocking them down and rebuilding them with a modern building which the original building would outlast. Replacing a building every 30 years would never be sustainable, it wouldn't even last a person's lifetime. You also wouldn't be able to get a mortgage for it as it would depreciate in value faster than you could pay off the mortgage. It's carbon footprint would always be higher than traditional bricks and mortar over time, as you would have to rebuild it 5-10 times for every one time that you build a brick house, if not many more times.
@@kaneworsnop1007 There's a bit of survivorship bias here. There's plenty of 100+ year old buildings in the US as well - plenty of houses in New England that date back to the 1800s - but 90% of all buildings were made with poor quality materials and shoddy labor practices and didn't survive more than a single generation, if that. We only remember the ones that haven't fallen down. The cost to maintain the old colonial homes in New England as well is insane in terms of things like heat loss due to old windows and 70 year old diesel boilers and radiator heating, etc. It would be cheaper for people to tear them down and build a new home, but they can't even if they wanted to because it's illegal to tear down a historic building. My parents house is from the 1880s, and the cost to run their natural gas boiler for the radiators and hot water is easily 10x what the natural gas costs me for my heat in my house built in the 1970s.
Most of the buildings and houses in my area turned 100 in the last 20 years, and it shows. The basements of some of the buildings here are a maze of rotting wood and crumbling concrete. A brick facade fell off a building and into the street last week, no injuries luckily. There's new development in the area, but it's way cheaper and easier to lobby the local government to dismantle our parks and green space than it is to tear down or repair the old buildings. Of course, nobody that actually lives and works within city limits can afford these luxury condos that stand where our parks used to. And landlords love using it as an excuse to raise rent
The thing about rotohammers is that 1: hilti makes really good ones at a good price, and 2: ALL rotohammers break. I mean, the drill bits last about 100 holes before they are done... sure the hammers last longer, but being able to buy a cheap off the shelf available worldwide replacement of something goes wring with that part - is just good engineering.
Thanks Fred and Schindler’s Lifts. It’s great to see Ella improving safety and efficiency in installing the Snow White tower’s lifts. Limited only by the access to power, Ella can prepare the shafts for the teams of technicians that fit the equipment to transport people safely to any floor of the skyscraper when it’s finished.
In the company where I worked a technician who did maintenance work on one of our elevators on a Friday afternoon. On Monday we received a call from the technician's employer if the technician had shown up on Friday. Yes, he did. He did not show up for work on Monday morning and nobody knew where he was. Turned out that he was still in our company on the top of an elevator squeezed to death. :-( I thought there would be enough space between the cabin and the roof but apparently there isn't.
If it climbs and sets itself in position, i would think with another end effector and a tool changer, it could also install the bolts and initial foundation brackets exactly where they're supposed to go. Six axis robots are incredibly versatile and dextrous and this is a really good example of a perfect use for them.
4:09 But which ones? Could be Bashful ~ because you can't really be one of such a few skyscrapers and call yourself Bashful. Also Sneezy is not the best. Think of all the extra reinforcing rods you'd need to put in to accommodate the sudden movement in a sneezing skyscraper!
Las Vegas needs a lot of these. We always have some building going up! I can see a time when there are two RISE machines per elevator shaft x 10 shafts speeding up construction in the Las Vegas Valley!
Nothing is currently rising out here that I'm aware of. New baseball stadium soonish but that wont be very tall, ya know? But ive been here almost 30 years and have seen this city expand and grow like crazy.
I'm a bit concerned with how when the drill bit is withdrawn from the hole that it drops significantly, so much that it no longer lines up. I would think when a robot drill goes in then out, it is still lined up with the hole and can just go straight back in again. @1:52
SDS Plus or SDS Max drill bits for rotary hammers has a fair amount of play, that drop is perfect normal and acceptable. @5:30 you can see the mounting brackets have lots of slots to align the rails.
I'd like to see more elevator tech covered. Given all the solutions to traditional elevator capacity (double decker, sky lobbies, etc.) I'd like to see if anyone is doing the "turbo lift" approach where elevators ride on tracks instead of cables and can divert around each other so they can share shafts.
All the robots are females. Ella and her robotic mates "whistle while they work" on the Snow White Tower. Two Disney references! Wow! When the structure is complete, it is a fairy tale!
@@primordial_platypus rude. Did you know that hardly an average US family could still afford the costs to go to Disneyland? If so i guess Disney looses money with their park(s). How long before they let people go? From that perspectiv, it isn't that far fetched that they may look around for new revenue streams. Then again they may just carry those costs with the money they make from films and what not, as loosing that prestige maybe even worse for them.
@@kinngrimmTake it easy, it was a joke. The people there said it was like Snow White and the seven(five) dwarves. If you call the main building Snow White it makes sense to name the 5 smaller buildings after the dwarves. As far as Disney is concerned I doubt they would have a case against the buildings as long as they don’t “formally” call them Snow White.
It uses hydraulic compression arms that roll up hoistway, keeping tension against the walls at all times. I’m sure there’s a safety line for when the system fails.
There are websites specifically used to gain information. They are called search engines. They've only been around for decades, so you might not be aware. Hope this helps.
Unlike 3D extrusion forming houses, this automaton application makes sense. Its a repetitive task that needs to be done accurately in a (geometrically) well conformed environment featuring significant exposures for human workers. Be sure not to keep her waiting - you loaded enough bolts right?
It would be even cooler if it didn't have to climb and it would put the rails above it, install it and climb it like an elevator instead of going on the raw concrete
This channel is great but sometimes I wonder what goes through Fred’s brain when he sees an ikea wardrobe? Does he think ‘this is the most incredible wardrobe construction in a century’
Is it possible to insert the elevator bolts during the shaft building process? I have no knowledge of construction industry but while watching this video; this question came to my mind. This also means less work on site after the shaft is built. I am sure I am missing something as this thought might have come to the construction engineers and they have addressed it but I am curious to know or learn.
Robots are not afraid of heights or falling.... I too am not afraid of falling from extreme heights... only the extreme stopping when I hit the ground...
Question- what do people do when the power goes out? How long can backup generators last before the elevators quit? A large city in The Philippines had a power outage that lasted a week (the entire city!). Are backup generators gas-fed and would that restrict them from providing enough electricity for all the needs of the building’s operation? It’s horrible enough to be on a high floor when fire breaks out below you, but how do you survive on floor 70 without an operational elevator so you can get food, medicine, or you need a trip to the hospital? Yes, I’m showing my ignorance about engineering and tall buildings. My questions are sincere and not meant sarcastically. If I’m in a building that stops ‘working’ then I wouldn’t want to be higher than the third floor!
i mostly just hope this frees up workers to let them work on other constructions, overall speeding up total construction time over a wider and larger area
Why drill holes at all? Would it be possible to include a teflon-covered steel rod in the concrete form work that is withdrawn after the concrete is set to leave a hole?
You folks do an absolutely amazing job profiling some incredible projects and technologies! Thank you! One request -- language is important so I would suggest replacing the word "guys" to address your audience with another more 2024 term such as "folks", "dear viewers", "listeners", etc. Thank you so much!!
Interesting. Men are doing 30 floors in 30 weeks. Then they stated it could shave off a full 2 weeks. That is only a 6% increase. I am not questioning that it is safer, more reliable, and better at the job. I am just surprised it is only 6% faster.
You have to look at it this way: It's already 6% faster. Despite being new tech. Also, I had like a few months ago a bunch of people doing the new elevators in my building. Since then we have a problem like every week because seemingly they did a bad job. So, in the end you'll also save time and costs in the maintainment phase and not just the construction phase that you have to consider.
I'm thinking maybe they have to wait for the robot to finish before letting humans in to fit the rails etc. Perhaps before they were able to have both the drillers and installers at the same time? Just a guess. Would be interested to know the actual answer.
Great use of robotics. A big advance in elevator usage might be to improve the sign indication on the door operating buttons (at 4:18). The 'open' and 'close' symbols are too similar to be quickly and reliably selected. Also mimetically confusing, with the most prominent element being the ambiguous vertical line: the image of the closing stile of the doors together. They also have confused state indication. The closing button shows the desired outcome (closed) but the opening button shows the current state (also closed) of the doors. This is not intuitively apt. Then the differentiating elements are too similar, particularly for people with vision problems. They require cognitive work and time, albeit brief, for most people to sort out the functional difference. So both buttons are ambiguously two 'blobs' separated by a vertical line. TOO SIMILAR. Far better would be obvious differentiation serving instant mimetic recognition. For example, this could be an open circle: O for door open and the vertical line: I for the door close. This would remove the risk of error in button selection avoiding the not unknown accident of a door being closed on an entering passenger.
I can't wait for the day all essential work is fully automated and we implement a universal basic income so people can pursue their dreams without ever having to worry about their own existence. I really hope society builds that better future, and we're getting closer as AI and robotics advance.
Construction Robots are the future! Imagine space construction in zero gravity or moon gravity. Megaspaceships and O'neil cylinders would be made possible.
Do you think we'll see this on more construction sites in the future?
This is insane!!!

This would dovetail with adaptive project management as you ship the robots around to the sites and reallocate labor. . .
Very enjoyable as always 👍
After watching this video, I found a new ambition. I want to have the job being the robot minion's boss.
Easy to lose level when drilling in walls, robots won't get sore trying to keep level. I like it 👌
Hello in Ella, Ella Vator
What an amazing time we live in.
I would say this is not replacing work. It's one very specific task that requires precision accuracy, from a job with dozens of other tasks to do.
This channel is great but sometimes I wonder what goes through Fred’s brain when he sees an ikea wardrobe? Does he think ‘this is the most incredible wardrobe construction in a century’
Is it possible to insert the elevator bolts during the shaft building process? I have no knowledge of construction industry but while watching this video; this question came to my mind.
This also means less work on site after the shaft is built. I am sure I am missing something as this thought might have come to the construction engineers and they have addressed it but I am curious to know or learn.
I do live in vienna, but i didn't know that this is happening right now.....
Crazy 🎉
Nice. Im sure that Schindler will receive many requests for bids based on this video 👍
Robots are not afraid of heights or falling.... I too am not afraid of falling from extreme heights... only the extreme stopping when I hit the ground...
Question- what do people do when the power goes out? How long can backup generators last before the elevators quit? A large city in The Philippines had a power outage that lasted a week (the entire city!).
Are backup generators gas-fed and would that restrict them from providing enough electricity for all the needs of the building’s operation? It’s horrible enough to be on a high floor when fire breaks out below you, but how do you survive on floor 70 without an operational elevator so you can get food, medicine, or you need a trip to the hospital?
Yes, I’m showing my ignorance about engineering and tall buildings. My questions are sincere and not meant sarcastically. If I’m in a building that stops ‘working’ then I wouldn’t want to be higher than the third floor!
The future is here. Great doco
So who installs the robot? Is that time and effort counted in the numbers?
Very cool but a bit unfortunate that Switzerland has almost no skyscrapers yet so many elevator companies like Schindler. 😂
That's why they're a worldwide company
Robots of the world unite , you have nothing to lose really except your nuts and bolts .
i mostly just hope this frees up workers to let them work on other constructions, overall speeding up total construction time over a wider and larger area
Why drill holes at all? Would it be possible to include a teflon-covered steel rod in the concrete form work that is withdrawn after the concrete is set to leave a hole?
Schindler is definitely on construction companies lists
Schindler's Lift!
You folks do an absolutely amazing job profiling some incredible projects and technologies! Thank you! One request -- language is important so I would suggest replacing the word "guys" to address your audience with another more 2024 term such as "folks", "dear viewers", "listeners", etc. Thank you so much!!
How many Hilti drills do they go through per lift shaft?
Interesting. Men are doing 30 floors in 30 weeks. Then they stated it could shave off a full 2 weeks. That is only a 6% increase. I am not questioning that it is safer, more reliable, and better at the job. I am just surprised it is only 6% faster.
You have to look at it this way: It's already 6% faster. Despite being new tech.
Also, I had like a few months ago a bunch of people doing the new elevators in my building. Since then we have a problem like every week because seemingly they did a bad job. So, in the end you'll also save time and costs in the maintainment phase and not just the construction phase that you have to consider.
The robot, currently does one small aspect. Have it fit the rails too... then 'we'll be talking...
I'm thinking maybe they have to wait for the robot to finish before letting humans in to fit the rails etc. Perhaps before they were able to have both the drillers and installers at the same time? Just a guess. Would be interested to know the actual answer.
6% faster and less prone to error. Less prone to error is a very big deal.
Because it was never about productivity.
okay, I now see why star trek has self sealing shaft bolts.
;-)
greetings from vienna.
3:50 The "high skyscraper" is not even a skyscraper, let another the smaller ones.
As someone whoes drilled a lot of wholes into concrete, any help we can get is very welcome haha
“You need a concrete shaft running up your building” got me quivering 😩
I wonder what kind of maintenance and cost wise something like this has to go through
Great use of robotics.
A big advance in elevator usage might be to improve the sign indication on the door operating buttons (at 4:18).
The 'open' and 'close' symbols are too similar to be quickly and reliably selected. Also mimetically confusing, with the most prominent element being the ambiguous vertical line: the image of the closing stile of the doors together.
They also have confused state indication. The closing button shows the desired outcome (closed) but the opening button shows the current state (also closed) of the doors. This is not intuitively apt.
Then the differentiating elements are too similar, particularly for people with vision problems. They require cognitive work and time, albeit brief, for most people to sort out the functional difference. So both buttons are ambiguously two 'blobs' separated by a vertical line. TOO SIMILAR.
Far better would be obvious differentiation serving instant mimetic recognition. For example, this could be an open circle: O for door open and the vertical line: I for the door close. This would remove the risk of error in button selection avoiding the not unknown accident of a door being closed on an entering passenger.
I heard that ideally, most building heights should be around 3-7 floors high. To keep them in human scale
Got that 10:01 play time, gotta the mid video ad hahaha
Excellent video Fred!
Amazing video
I can't wait for the day all essential work is fully automated and we implement a universal basic income so people can pursue their dreams without ever having to worry about their own existence. I really hope society builds that better future, and we're getting closer as AI and robotics advance.
Same!
Construction Robots are the future! Imagine space construction in zero gravity or moon gravity. Megaspaceships and O'neil cylinders would be made possible.
I love it. AI robots could save us from human error, negligence and short cuts. Perhaps program them to only use certified materials and components? 🏆
