Reinforcing bar binding is essential work for reinforced concrete construction. This work requires a lot of manpower and causes workers physical burden. However, due to the decrease in workers in recent years, the labor force is short and workers' burden is becoming increasingly high. As one solution to these various problems, we proposed and developed an automatic reinforcing bar binding robot. Specifically, we have developed various mechanisms necessary for the robot to perform binding work, and repeated experiments and improvements at the work site. As a result, we confirmed that the reinforcing bars can be binded automatically.
