Abstract:

This paper describes a research proposal intended to evaluate the viability of construction automation and robotic applications by the introduction of a two component model consisting of product and automation variables with each interact with their environment. the intention is that obth a qualitative and quantitative evaluation can be made to determine the most appropriate applications for construction robots. It should also be possible to measure achievement in terms of productivity as well as providing a compartitive analysis between alternative applications. The proposed hypothesis is described and the research methodology is listed with a statement of the proposed future achievement.
