A 55-acre residential community named Cleora is emerging in Salida, Colorado, featuring over 65 homes constructed using robotic technology. This initiative, developed by Cleora in collaboration with True North and RIC Robotics, aims to showcase the potential of robotic construction for entire neighborhoods rather than just prototypes.
The significance of Cleora lies in its ambition to transform community design and delivery through advanced construction technology. With nearly seven years of research backing the project, the developers have chosen RIC Robotics to implement two autonomous printing systems, marking a substantial deployment of robotic construction in a single residential area.
As the first model home by True North is under construction, the project will gradually expand production based on system performance. Observers should watch for how Cleora integrates autonomous construction into a cohesive community while maintaining architectural diversity and cost control, a notable shift from typical standalone 3D-printed homes.
