Tatton Consulting supported Tower Hamlets-based construction robotics company AUAR in its successful application to Innovate UK Smart grants: April 2024, which was awarded £341,773 by Innovate UK for the project AUAR: Developing a robotic, distributed micro-factory network and automated tech stack enabling homebuilders to deliver sustainable, affordable, mid-rise timber homes at-scale.
About the funded R&D project
AUAR is developing a distributed network of robotic micro-factories with an automated technology stack, enabling homebuilders to deliver sustainable, affordable mid-rise timber homes at scale. Distributing production across small local facilities rather than centralising it changes the logistics and capital profile of offsite construction.
