Ero, the concrete demolition robot

Seoul, the capital city of S.Korea, is filled with new construction. You are able to come upon building demolition every corner of the city. The dust and debris it creates are many times unbearable for the residents.  I find this interesting robot while I am reading an eco-article on the net.

ERO is a Concrete Deconstruction Robot designed to disassemble concrete structures and enable the building materials to be re-used for new pre-fabricated concrete buildings. ERO uses water jets to crack the concrete surface to disassemble concrete and sucks up the mixed debris. It cleanly separates the waste mixture and packages the cleaned material. What was previously waste, now turns into labeled packaged asset to be transferred right away into concrete pre-casting stations to be re-molded into new building blocks.

ERO seems eco-friendlier than the existing methods of current demolition.
