Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to define challenges for Automation and Robotics in construction (A+R) to enhance client and social value. Construction contributes to a positive living environment for society and is the largest sector of Europe’s economy with a size of around 2,500 billion Euros. Ten research projects have been analyzed to select the challenges for development. These challenges present a road map for Automation and Robotics in construction particularly on Human-machine technologies, Process management and Performance engineering.
