Abstract:

Purdue University research on the application of robotics to construction began in the summer of 1986. It is based on the assumption that construction can benefit from the advanced automation technology available now in manufacturing. The current work activity spans in three directions: a. Design of a prototype Automated Construction Worker (ACW) for the performance of repetitive surface tasks. b. Design and evaluation of Flexible Construction Systems. c. Design of computerized decision aids for robot implementation. Each of these research areas is presented in some detail.
