Automating Retrofit - The Q-Bot Insulation Underfloor Robot
In this episode of the **Refurb and Retrofit Podcast**, host Matt Milloy engages with Leigh Fairbrother from Q-Bot in a thought-provoking dialogue about the intersection of technology and sustainability in home insulation. They delve into the revolutionary concept of Q-Bot's robotic underfloor insulation system, examining its impact on both the housing industry and individual homeowners' lives.
Leigh Fairbrother introduces us to Q-Bot’s innovative system, a robotic solution that addresses the challenges of underfloor insulation in UK homes – a process traditionally associated with significant disruption and complication. With a clever design allowing it to navigate tight spaces and difficult terrains beneath floorboards, Q-Bot’s technology not only enhances thermal performance but also contributes beneficially to indoor health by mitigating dampness and preventing the ingress of harmful particles.
Throughout the conversation, Milloy. inquires about the broader implications of adopting such technology, shedding light on retrofit's potential benefits and challenges. The exchange probes into the details of the robot's capabilities, the sustainability of the materials used, and the process of achieving industry consensus on new technologies. By the end of this episode, listeners are left contemplating the future of home insulation and the innovative solutions emerging within the retrofit industry.
