ABB and Cosmic Buildings are using AI-powered robots to make rebuilding in Southern California more efficient. The combination of ABB's IRB 6710 industrial robot, digital twin software, and Cosmic's AI-driven Building Information Model (BIM) optimizes the construction process.

Custom wall panels are manufactured with precision and delivered just in time. The houses are made of non-combustible materials and equipped with solar and water recycling systems. Cosmic plans to build 100 houses by 2027. The mobile factory reduces waste and increases construction quality, redefining housing construction in disaster areas. ABB and Cosmic are setting new standards for fast, safe, and affordable housing by integrating robotics and AI into the construction process.
