Déploya

Déploya addresses high safety risks, long installation times, and frequent errors associated with conventional scaffolding systems that rely heavily on manual work. The project introduces a fast-deployable vertical grid used primarily for the installation of ventilated façades and cladding systems. The grid is based on origami folding and self-assembling principles, enabling rapid deployment and incorporating integrated rails for mobile robotic tools. This allows the automation of key façade tasks such as marking, drilling, and potentially full facade assembly. Déploya Robotics originated at EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems. The founding team, Jan Petrš and Thomas Estier, combines expertise in robotics startups, deployable structures, and robotic construction.
