Validation Scenarios

VALIDATION SCENARIOS

RADIANCE will validate its robotic, automated, and digital solutions through three large-scale Validation Scenarios across Europe. Each scenario represents a real building or construction environment where the project’s technologies will be deployed, tested, and demonstrated under real conditions.

These scenarios allow RADIANCE to assess performance, safety, usability, interoperability, environmental benefits, and the added value that robotics and AI bring to the renovation process.

1. INSPECTION, DIAGNOSIS & RENOVATION

This scenario focuses on the early phases of building renovation, where accurate inspection and diagnosis are essential. Traditional methods are time-consuming, risky for workers, and often rely on manual assessment.

RADIANCE introduces robotic and AI-driven solutions to streamline this stage and improve precision.

What will be demonstrated

  • Autonomous drone inspections for façades and hard-to-reach areas
  • Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) probes for structural condition assessment
  • AI-based defect detection and damage classification
  • Cable-robot systems for repair operations, including crack stitching. Autonomous drone platform will be used for automated spraying. 
  • Integration of inspection data into digital twins and BIM models

 

Objectives

  • Reduce inspection time and manual risks
  • Improve accuracy and detail of damage assessment
  • Enable data-driven renovation planning
  • Demonstrate semi-automated repair

2. HUMAN–ROBOT COLLABORATION & SAFETY

Renovation sites involve significant safety risks, complex workflows, and collaboration between workers and machines. This scenario evaluates how RADIANCE technologies can enhance on-site safety, awareness, and interaction between humans and robots.

What will be demonstrated

  • AR/VR tools providing real-time guidance to workers
  • Safety and monitoring systems predicting hazards and improving awareness
  • C-ITS communication tools for on-site coordination
  • Human–robot interaction protocols for safe co-working
  • Deployment of robotic systems in active renovation settings

 

Objectives

  • Support safer working conditions
  • Improve ergonomics and reduce exposure to risky tasks
  • Demonstrate transparent, predictable, and safe robot behaviour
  • Validate worker-centric digital assistance tolos

3. CONSTRUCTION OPTIMISATION & LOGISTICS

Renovation projects often struggle with delays, rework, inefficient logistics, and a lack of real-time information. This scenario focuses on optimising renovation workflows, site logistics, and resource management using automation and digital tools.

What will be demonstrated

  • Digital twin platform integrating models, sensor data, and site information
  • Quadruped robots for on-site monitoring, surveying, and logistics
  • AI-based planning tools for workflow optimisation
  • Resource and material tracking
  • Simulation tools supporting decision-making and scheduling

 

Objectives

  • Improve renovation predictability and efficiency
  • Reduce waste, delays, and operational costs
  • Demonstrate the value of automation in material flow and site monitoring
  • Enable better planning through digitalisation

RENOVATION PILOTS

RADIANCE will validate its robotic, automated, and digital solutions through three large-scale Renovation Pilots across Europe. Each pilot represents a real building or construction environment where the project’s technologies will be deployed, tested, and demonstrated under real conditions.

These pilots allow RADIANCE to assess performance, safety, usability, interoperability, environmental benefits, and the added value that robotics and AI bring to the renovation process.
