Advance Construction Techniques

Abstract

Advance Construction Techniques In recent years, due to the challenge of population ageing, labor shortage and globalization, robots and automation have been playing an increasingly important role in the construction industry. Yet in German construction industry, of which 80% are renovations, most application examples are single-task approaches such as component production and prefabrication, few can be seen as versatile, flexible, and multifunctional solutions which adapt the increasing need of on-site robots.

On the basis of comprehensively categorizing and analyzing the current application examples of state-of-the-art single-task construction robots (STCRs), this paper aims to propose a framework of flexible and universal platform combining single-task robots as a robot swarm focusing on renovation (Single/Multi-task On-site Adaptable Renovation Robot Technology for Building Engineering Enhancement, or simply SMARTBEE). The interaction between the robots and humans will also play a major role. Research focus will be on the development of anticipatory assistive controllers to support human labor, on shared control architectures, and the integration of wearable haptics as human-robot interface.

Conclusion

A lot of new kinds of buildings have been born according to the request of the respective fields after World War II in Japan. Public facilities are built as one building in recent years from population decrease, decrease in the number of children and Increase of the senior citizen percentage. The facilities where not something with the close kind of elementary schools and junior high schools, but facilities for elderly people and children are made together are increasing. The facilities connected by one door, something to associate has increased.
