Three new partners joined the BERTIM project in August 2016, after the voluntary withdrawal of the previous three partners in order to tackle their responsibilities.
In this research project, one of the goals is to conceive an efficient mass manufacturing and installation of prefabricated modules, by a combination of an integration of robotic, automation and augmented reality technologies.
Kepa Iturralde from Technische Universität in Munich presented BERTIM project at the Advanced Building Skins 2016 congress which was held from 10 to 11 October in Bern, Switzerland.
The speech entitled "Timber based prefabricated façade elements for building refurbishment" was a part of the session dedicated to Prefabrication of Façade Elements which was hosted by Michael Garrison from University of Texas at Austin, USA.
