No Father's Day Holiday for Home Building Robots. They Get No Time Off Getting Ready for Rebuilding Flood Housing.

Online, June 14, 2013 (Newswire.com) - No Father's Day Holiday for Home Building Robots. They get no time off getting ready for rebuilding flood housing.

Orlando...Isaac Asimov, considered to be the Father of Robotics, predicted his "offspring" would work tirelessly for mankind. While the rest of the U.S. is celebrating Father's Day Sunday, robots will be practicing building houses.

No pipe dream, a technology group that developed a completely robotic portable factory that can construct the shell for a 1500 sq. ft. 3 BR home in 14 days is in the final stages of completing programming of the robotics. Intended for use in flood states where "Mother Nature" ahs destroyed large numbers of homes, the system combines aromatic copolymer, steel mesh, and concrete aggregate to produce wall, structural, and roof sections that are assembled by unskilled labor. The result costs about $50,000.

Dubbed the "QUIKIE- HOME MAKER" the 53 foot platform travels to vacant land by rail or road, is hooked up to resources, and the robotics does the work, producing everything in about 3 days. Completion takes an additional 12 days.

A science "Think Tank" called the EMERGING GROWTH INSTITUTE has been mentoring construction scientists working on the concept since Hurricane "Ike" smashed Texas housing. The demonstration model they built was the only thing left standing for miles. A FEMA consultant wrote a report that applauded the concept. Despite the large numbers of homeowners facing life in FEMA trailers and a long rebuilding task before materials and labor can be applied and delays in Federal funding have slowed the rebuilding process, details sent to elected officials to schedule a demonstration of the technology has had no results.

"The $50,000 cost makes it far less expensive for disaster relief agencies and insurance firms to fund and puts distressed homeowners back into permanent housing faster" explained Michael Shulman, EGI Chairman "An added advantage-is homeowners can take part in the process as part of unskilled labor which pays them right away to buy supplies."

According to a report by a Belgium firm *Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe, Balkans) continue as a major user of lightweight "sandwich panels" over the past decade. India has had substantial increases in use since 2006. The U.S. development of the "QH" system using robotics to produce a core that provides extreme thermal insulation coupled to an automatically welded series of steel supports and steel mesh provides a rapid and economic construction speed.

The Garza family living in the Texas prototype confirmed that the core method results in vastly lower HAVAC costs. "We moved from a 750 foot home where we were paying over $130 monthly to this one and now pay about $70 for a home twice the size".
