# Automated systems and methods for installing fasteners through construction connectors

## Abstract

An Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) may include a guidance system, a propulsion system, an imaging system, at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor being configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include automatically navigating the UGV to an imaging location through employment of the guidance system, the propulsion system, and the imaging system. The operations may include automatically capturing image data. The image data may indicate a construction connector. The operations may include automatically classifying the image data through employment of a classifier. The classifier may be based on construction connector training data. The construction connector training data may relate to a plurality of construction connectors. The operations may include automatically determining an installation state of the construction connector based on the classification.
