ERO Concrete Recycling Robot by Omer Haciomeroglu

Concrete structures are usually destroyed using demolition techniques but this action usually leave you with waste, dust, and wasting a lot of water to prevent the dust blooms during the process. Keeping that in mind, Omer Haciomeroglu has come up with ERO Concrete Recycling Robot to address the issues we have to deal during demolition process. The robot has been designed to help you disassemble concrete structures efficiently, no waste or dust, and you can easily reclaim any building materials to be reused. A water jet system is equipped within ERO so that the robot can use it to crack concrete surface, thus separating waste and package dust-free material.

The main challenge of this project is to design a mechanism that makes the robot is able to separate material concurrent with deconstruction. This process has to be done right on the spot, so instead of brutal pulverizing the concrete, the robot has to perform smart deconstruction.

ERO Concrete Recycling Robot concept is hoped to be our smart and sustainable solution in the near future so that demolition operations would allow us to reuse materials as much as possible. The robot features artificial intelligence which allows it to scan its surrounding and decide the best route to take to execute the operation. One by one, ERO literally erases the building.

How it works?

ERO deconstructs with high-pressure water and sucks and separates the mixture of aggregate, cement and water. It then sends aggregate and filtered cement slurry separately down to the packaging unit to be contained. Clean aggregate is packed into big bags, which are labeled and sent to nearby concrete precast stations for reuse. Water is recycled back into the system. The packaging unit provides ERO with vacuum suction and electrical power. Turbulence dynamos placed within the air suction route produces some percent of power that ERO needs. ERO uses less than what it gets. Nothing is placed in land fills or sent away for additional processing. Even the rebar is cleaned of concrete, dust and rust and is ready to be cut and reused immediately. Every bit of the load-bearing structure is reusable for new building blocks.

The collaboration between Earnest Studio and Dana Cannam Design resulted in unique All of a Piece Modular Tabletop . It consists of several elements, sizes, and materials which can be combined to form unique shapes to fit your needs. There’s a flat tray, a shallow bowl, endcap, and a candle holder, each one is made of marble, granite, and wood. You can create small trivet to large dining table centerpiece, all materials and forms are interchanged using invisible magnetic connection. You can also insert a LED light source between modules to create unique atmosphere to every arrangement.

Linear Scissors Can Cut a Straight Line Easily Without Pre-Marking

Linear scissors concept proposes new design to enable user to cut a perfect straight line by taking advantage the edge of the table. The common problem that we usually deal when cutting a long straight line with scissors is we need to pre-mark the line or use additional tool such as a roll cutter or ruler. This concept scissors have been designed to solve the issue thanks to its unique horizontally divided handle with the right angle which can be fit onto the edge of the table. This design makes it possible to slide the handle and the blades forward on a straight line while cutting. The handles are not really that thick in order to make them easily slide with the tip of the fingers which is really important when the table top is quiet thick. One of great feature from this design is that the shape of the handle diverts any excess material out of your way while cutting, it definitely eases the forward movement.
