Module Robot Application for Flexible Building Construction
The biggest barrier to obstruct successful introduction of robots into building construction sites is complexity of the construction system.in the building construction sites is complexity of the construction system.in the building construction sites, many types of technicians have to work in parallel. Therefore, in the case of introducing conventional and single function types of robots, too many types of robots have to be prepared, and these great numbers of the robots and peripheral equipment have to be transferred from one site to others in response to the mobility of the construction sites. For coping with the problem of complexity, we are developing construction module robots.as the first step of the research and development, key technologies for modularization, development methodology, data collection and analysis of construction materials, task processes of robotic tasks, and design specifications of robot hardware modules in finish works are reported.
