Images of the Future Development of Automated Construction Technology

The purpose of the study is to indicate the future direction of automation technology as applied to rationalization of building construction. To achieve this purpose, we administered questionnaires to building engineers who had on-site experience with advanced construction technologies. We where thus able to clarify the approach we should take to technological development and other related themes. We also received valuable suggestions on the direction of technological development in the field of construction automation. This research was carried out as a part of study activities of the Architectural Institute of Japan’s Research Committee on Building Materials and Construction Procedures, and by the Committee on Technology for Robotized Building Production.
