A Review on Artificial Intelligence Application for Wooden Structure

Abstract

AI research and utilization in the architectural field are being promoted for the purpose of improving efficiency of design process. This paper discusses the current status, challenges, and prospects of AI utilization, limiting the scope to wooden structure. First of all, the paper described the current status of AI applications in design support, construction robot control, maintenance management through point cloud analysis, 3D restoration of cultural assets, and material analysis for wooden structure. Next, it was pointed out that technical and social issues such as lack of data, black box AI, data ethics, and division of roles between experts, and discussed the need for interpretable AI and institutional development. Finally, this paper concluded that the future will require data sharing, collaboration between AI and humans, and international standardization and ethical frameworks.
