An Ergonomic Analysis Framework for Construction Robot Performance Requirements

This paper presents a method for calculating a quantitative deterministic measure of the automated machine performance requirements based on the envisioned machine characteristics and available technology for a specific construction task application. An example application of the developed methodology to the analysis of a concrete placement task is provided. The developed method can be used to aid construction equipment manufacturers in evaluating the relative difficulty in regards to applying current automated equipment technology to selected construction work tasks.
