Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A construction workstation, comprising:

a base portion comprising a plurality of wheels configured to move the construction workstation;

a lift portion connected to the base portion;

a rotatable platform portion configured to be raised or lowered by the lift portion, the rotatable platform portion comprising a plurality of tools installed on the rotatable platform portion, the plurality of tools facing outward from the construction workstation, the rotatable platform portion configured to rotate;

a retractable portion connected to the base portion, the retractable portion comprising a tool holding portion comprising another plurality of tools, the retractable portion configured to be lowered to a height at or below the base portion; and

one or more supply containers disposed in the base portion and connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of tools to supply the corresponding ones of the plurality of tools.

2. The construction workstation of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control rotation of the rotatable platform portion based on input to direct a tool from the plurality of tools towards a location for a construction operation.

3. The construction workstation of claim 2 , wherein the controller comprises a processor and a network interface configured to interface with an external user device, the controller configured to control the lift portion, movement of the construction workstation, rotation of the rotatable platform portion, and operation of the plurality of tools from instructions received by the external user device.

4. The construction workstation of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to receive the input from a control panel attached to the construction workstation.

5. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the tool holding portion is configured to unfold out laterally from the retractable portion.

6. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the tool holding portion is configured to rotate.

7. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein a controller is configured to control operation of the retractable portion and the another plurality of tools.

8. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein each of the another plurality of tools is installed onto a corresponding slot of the retractable portion and is configured to be removable.

9. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein each of the another plurality of tools is configured to be installed on a corresponding panel portion of the retractable portion, wherein the corresponding panel portion is configured to be removable.

10. The construction workstation of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control rotation of the tool holding portion based on input to direct a tool from the another plurality of tools towards a location for a construction operation.

11. The construction workstation of claim 10 , wherein the controller comprises a processor and a network interface configured to interface with an external user device, the controller configured to control movement of the retractable portion, unfolding of the tool holding portion, the rotation of the tool holding portion, and operation of the another plurality of tools from instructions received by the external user device.

12. The construction workstation of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to receive the input from a control panel attached to the construction workstation.

13. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of tools is installed onto a corresponding slot of the rotatable platform portion and is configured to be removable.

14. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of tools is configured to be installed on a corresponding panel portion of the rotatable platform portion, wherein the corresponding panel portion is configured to be removable.

15. The construction workstation of claim 1 , further comprising a controller, wherein the controller comprises a network interface configured to be connected to a network, wherein the controller receives instructions to control the lift portion, movement of the construction workstation, rotation of the rotatable platform portion, and operation of the plurality of tools from instructions received through the network.

16. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the lift portion is a scissor lift.

17. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tools comprises a robotic arm, wherein a controller is configured to control movement of the robotic arm along a lateral axis and a depth axis, wherein the controller is configured to adjust height of the robotic arm through control of the lift portion.

18. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tools comprises a mud spray gun and a water spray gun.

19. The construction workstation of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tools comprises a nail gun.
