Abstract:

Automation of construction, by means of robots, is not limited to any particular design. Yet from the cost effectiveness stand point some designs are more suitable for automation than others, in particular when social-economic aspects are also taken into consideration. This paper describes the design features of a general purpose construction system, which can be easily automated and applicable in various environments. From the technical stand point the system comprises two types of elements namely, full size panels, i.e., walls and slabs , and linear connecting , or interfacing, members into which the panels are linked by means of standard mechanical connectors. Auxiliary components can be superimposed on this primary system, as required.
