One of the first words Wouter Witteman said as a child was ‘plug in’. With his curious and inquisitive mind, this Eindhoven University of Technology master's student is always looking for #innovation. This is also how he began the #startup SUWEVE, which has developed a #wheelchair accessory that allows wheelchairs to face backwards when pushed, so that you can look at each other during a walk. Take a look at the full story in this article we translated!

Built by Nature is delighted to share some important news from one of our Frontrunners: Automated Architecture (AUAR) has secured funding of £2.6 million towards the use of robotics to quickly build sustainable and affordable homes. Miles Ahead, ABB, Rival Holdings, Morgan Stanley and others participated in the funding round. AUAR licenses its robotic micro-factories and AI to enable home-builders to deliver low-energy timber homes at scale, and at affordable prices. The company’s technology can be quickly set up and allows home-builders to reduce costs and save time, increasing their productivity. The payback time is less than 6 months. The investment will support the company’s growth of its partner license network with 10 more partners and the expansion of operations in the US. The company offers a different vision for the built environment, where automation is not centralised into large factories but empowers local ecosystems of communities, contractors, architects and developers to build better homes. They are targeting 40 license partners for its micro-factories by 2030, with a capacity of producing more than 75,000 energy-efficient homes and removing millions of tons of CO2 each year. AUAR was founded in 2019 by Mollie Claypool, CEO, and Gilles Retsin, CTO & Chief Architect, (both pictured below in the accompanying media article) after working together for over a decade researching how robotics, generative design and AI could radically transform housing and the way we live. Mollie Claypool said, “There is a huge and urgent need for affordable low-energy homes, but currently these are expensive to build and difficult to deliver at scale... but AUAR is here to change that...By using our solution, construction companies can hit their sustainability targets at a cost they are comfortable with.” And according to Gilles Retsin,“AUAR has developed all the tech home builders need to develop, produce and build affordable low-energy homes while increasing margins and productivity. Our technology is low CapEx, doesn’t require big factories and pays itself back in a few months.” Congratulations to the team at AUAR -- this is the type of vision, technical innovation and investment momentum which Built by Nature will continue to amplify in our mission to transform our built environment. #timberconstruction #sustainableconstruction #robotics #AI #decarbonisation
