Abstract: Building and construction is one of the major industries around the world. Construction industry is labour-intensive and is conducted in dangerous situations; therefore the importance of construction robotics has grown rapidly. Applications and activities of robotics and automation in this industry started in the early 90s aiming to optimize equipment operations, improve safety, enhance perception of workspace and furthermore, ensure quality environment for building occupants. The main goal of this paper is to convince building designers and managers to incorporate robotic systems when managing modern buildings. This paper studies recent applications for robots and automation in the construction industry and sets opportunities and challenges through a new framework for better planning and control of construction equipment operation.
Keywords: Buildings, Automation, Safety, Management, Opportunities.
Scope of the Article: Construction Engineering
