Construction Robotics

抄録

The following article reviews past and current tendencies and derives and describes opportunities for construction robotics and automation. There substantial evidence in the construction industry, that conventional construction methodology has reached its limits. Although approaches of construction robotics are still in an innovation or seed phase, it can be expected that with continuous effort put into research and development these approaches may soon enter a growth phase and encounter adoption on way larger scales. Furthermore, the article describes the different application of construction robotics, proving the ability and efficiency of robot systems in diverse fields. Currently, it can already be observed that single task construction robots, on-and-off site construction robots and automated construction sites are becoming even more and more crucial factors, in order to enhance the overall construction efficiency and building sustainability.
