Objective

Progress in the domain of artificial intelligence enables the proposer to proceed with the transposition of the results obtained on a laboratory scale into demonstration of a fully automated, robotized, computer-driven bricklaying technique for steel-making convertors of any size and shape, using different types of refractory linings in different steel works in order to check the industrial reliability of the machine and economic aspects of its utilisation.
