Abstract:

Construction animation and robotics devices need to be fully integrated with the company IT infrastructure if they are to be of real value.Object technology provides the most effective means of achieving this,but an industry-wide protocol must be agreed.Two attempts at achieving this,the STEP and IAI initiatives are reviewed.Two case studies are examined-the LUCIE robot excavator and the Stent automated piling rig.Problems in trying to comply with STEP are described.
