“…In this regard, three categories of reinforcing method can be distinguished: the first consists in entraining the reinforcements in the concrete flow simultaneously to the printing [ 11 ] (embedded reinforcements, like fibers and cables can be included in this classification); the second consists in placing the reinforcement before the concrete printing [ 12 , 13 ]; and the third and last method aims to reinforce already deposited layers of concrete by inserting or screwing reinforcements (nails, staples, screws, rebars, etc.) in different directions [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. However, this last reinforcing method needs the implementation of multiple robots or tools (for instance one robot for concrete printing and one robot for reinforcement) and leads to complexity in robotic control and programming [ 19 , 20 ].…”
