We’re excited to share our latest development of the TARGET-X project within the construction vertical: The Prototype System for a Controlled Deconstruction Process By enabling controlled deconstruction, we’re paving the way for improved material recovery, reduced waste, and smarter construction practices.
We would like to thank our involved researchers for the continuous effort and engagement within this year: Marit Zöcklein, Victoria Jung, Wu Han Chu, Carsten Kamp, Sigrid Brell-Cokcan We wish you a Merry Christmas and looking forward to the next steps in the TARGET-X project in 2025. The TARGET-X project is funded by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under Horizon Europe (funding number 101096614). More information on the @TARGET-X project can be found on the website (https://target-x.eu/) and information on the @5G-ICE in Aachen (https://5g-industry-campus.com/).
We just wrapped up a successful consortium meeting, which took place on October 22-23 at the Marposs facilities in Bologna, where the focus was on advancing our research into 5G, 6G implementation across various verticals.
The meeting brought together experts and partners from the consortium to exchange insights on the progress made in different work packages, discuss open questions, and align our goals for the upcoming phases of the project.
A big thank you to Marposs for hosting us and for the productive discussions that will fuel the project as we move forward. We look forward to sharing our progress of 5G enabled deconstruction with all of you at Open CampusWeek 2025 on August 26 at the Reference Construction Site as part of 5G-Industry Campus Europe in Aachen.
Many thanks to the involved researchers Victoria Jung, Marit Zöcklein, Chu Han Wu.
The TARGET-X project is funded by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) within Horizon Europe (funding number 101096614) to secure Europe’s leadership in 5G and 6G,
On September 17 it was time for one of the construction industry’s leading public events to welcome more and more attendees every year.
Having a lot of fun at our Open-Campus-Week 2024 event, we are grateful and proud to share and experience the future of the construction industry together with around 250 guests at Europe’s first digital Reference Construction Site on Campus Melaten at RWTH Aachen University as part of 5G-Industry Campus Europe.
Thank you to all participants, speakers, supporters and organizers on stage, in the demo sessions and behind the scenes, you were and are amazing! Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this day unforgettable!
The 41st International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC 2024) was taking place in Lille, France. This prestigious event gathered industry leaders, researchers, and professionals from around the globe to discuss the latest advancements and innovations in Construction, Automation and Robotics.
Our IP researchers Wu Chu Han and Emre Ergin presented two pioneering papers highlighting the innovative progress made in the TARGET-X and Cloud 56 projects XR for 5G Remote and Automation Control in Deconstruction and 5G enabled robotic steel fabrication.

The TARGET-X project has received funding from the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement No. 101096614)
The Cloud 56 project is by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport of Germany within the initiative InnoNT (funding number 19Ol22018C).
We were delighted to be part of this year’s ROB/ARCH 2024 in Toronto, Canada – a Robotic Fabrication in Architecture, Art and Design event from May 21 to 25, 2024.
Incredible workshops for the first three days, followed by two days of paper and award presentations, panel discussions, keynotes and more. A week full of impressions, new insights and valuable opportunity for networking and exchange – Team CCR and IP of RWTH Aachen University accompanied by the students of master program Construction and Robotics spent an inspiring and interesting time at the ROB|ARCH 2024.
The paper “Loosely coupled observation processing and data exchange system for complex teams of on-site construction robots”, presented by one of our researchers Lukas Kirner, describes how 5G networking and edge computing, as well as the use of LinkedData concepts, can enable innovative system architectures that improve the capabilities of each individual machine on the construction site. The developments for this, as well as the research for this paper has been conducted in the course of the research projects EConoM and TARGET-X, which explore 5G technology in both a German and European research consortium.
This work is part of the research project EConoM that is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport of Germany within the initiative InnoNT (funding number 19Ol22009F). It was supported within the framework TARGET-X, a project funded by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under Horizon Europe (funding number 101096614).
ROB|ARCH 2024 is a collaboration between the University of Toronto (UofT) and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).
