Abstract:

Interior finish work of a building under construction, which is work in a closed space, is behind the times in labor saving by mechanization. This made us develop a light weight multi-purpose manipulator applicable to different places and types of construction work as well as to various types of interior work, by changing the construction of the unit only. This unit has already been introduced to more than ten construction sites, through which the improvement in the speed, efficiency, and safety of interior finish work has been confirmed. Though the details of the Light Weight Manipulator was reported at the Fourth Symposium on Construction Robotics in Japan held in 1994, this paper presents the improved points for application of the units at construction sites, and reports the examples for ceiling work.
