Archiboost looks beyond construction document checking

Excerpt from AEC Magazine

Company secures $6.2m to develop a connected model of building information, to advance its AI platform that reviews drawing sets for code, coordination, and specification conflicts Archiboost, an AI platform designed to help AEC teams and building owners identify errors, omissions and coordination issues in construction documents, has announced $6.2 million in pre-seed and seed funding, led by Hanabi Capital and Marathon Venture Capital. The funding will support the continued development of Archiboost’s AI platform, including the creation of a connected model of building information that links design elements to the requirements and decisions governing them. At its heart, Archiboost is designed to replace the traditional, time-consuming process of experienced architects and engineers manually reviewing large document sets. According to the company, a single overlooked inconsistency can result in RFIs, redesigns, delays or costly changes on site.

    Mori AI home robot "resembles a contemporary table lamp"

    Robotics startup OKA has released a lamp-shaped artificial intelligence robot designed to offer companionship by greeting people, dancing to music and playing nature sounds. Mori by OKA (One Kind Artificat) is 26.4 centimetres tall, with a cloth-covered base and an illuminated, dome-shaped head that lifts to reveal cartoonish eyes that blink and swivel. According to OKA, Mori "resembles a contemporary table lamp" and was designed to "help people feel calmer, more at ease, and more connected to the world around them". "We wanted Mori to feel like a familiar object in the home rather than an unfamiliar machine," OKA told Dezeen. "Many robots look technical, mechanical, or overly human, while a lamp is something people already live with comfortably."
