Modular Robotic Building System for Houses and Structures

Abstract

A system and method is provided for designing and constructing a building or structure using a modular robotic building system and smart panels, referred to herein as LunarPanels, having tube frames. The system may employ a robot that can move and install interconnected modular LunarPanels, thereby installing the panels in the correct position within a design. Each LunarPanel and tube frames will accommodate many interconnected systems (subsystems) within it through its internal infrastructure to enable and transport things like water, light, electricity, air, sewage, steam, heat, audio/sound, gas, oil, refrigerant, computer networking and data. By interconnecting the LunarPanels together, preferably robotically, one can efficiently and quickly create a finished building or structure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular system used in the construction of a structure comprising a first smart panel and a second smart panel that are configured to mate with one another, wherein said first smart panel is identical to said second smart panel and comprises:
 a first end having a tail extending horizontally from a first side of said first smart panel to a second side of said first smart panel;   a second end having a tail socket extending horizontally from said first side of said first smart panel to said second side said first smart panel, wherein said first end is opposite said second end and said tail is configured to mate with said tail socket, thereby allowing said first smart panel to mate with said second smart panel by aligning a beginning of said tail on said first smart panel with a beginning of said tail socket on said second smart panel and moving the two horizontally in relation to one another;   a switch that activated when said first smart panel is fully mated with said second smart panel;   a substructure within said first smart panel extending vertically from said first end to said second end, said substructure having a conduit for the transfer of fluid, said conduit comprising a first end configured to mate with a second end via a rotational fitting; and   a motorized gear configured to rotate said rotational fitting in response to said activation of said switch, thereby mating a first end of said conduit in said first smart panel with a second end of said conduit in said second smart panel.
