The emergence of high-rise buildings mitigates the pressure of the growing population, but face challenges of labour force, labour quality, safety and psychological fear of the height. These challenges call for leveraging machines and robots to assist human labour.
The application of automation and robotics technology in the construction industry is emerging. One of the aspects of the construction industry is robotic construction activities.
Taylor et al., Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Civil Engineering, 156(1): 34-41, 2003 summarized the existing automated machinery and construction robots in Japan, and suggested that construction environments should be more structured and controlled to apply construction robots. Maas and van Gassel, Automation in Construction, 14(4): 435-441, 2005 discussed the development of automation and robotics technology and its influence on performance management, construction engineering, and construction management.
Now-a-days, many construction operations have incorporated automated equipment, means, and methods into their regular practices. The automated building construction systems provide an integrated building construction environment for robotic masonry, computer work stations, and other automated construction equipment. The automated construction benefits are improved construction productivity, less dependence on labor, and improved safety and quality. The impact of this integrated automation approach is expected to be significant due to its high level of coordination between resources and processes, and well defined environment for information transfer.
