NSF-CGP Science and Engineering Fellowship Program: Automated Building Construction

9415927 Kangari本提案支持佐治亚理工学院土木工程系Roozbeh Kangari博士和清水株式会社先进技术部前田纯一郎先生的合作。项目资金将使Kangari博士和他的一名研究生每人在清水株式会社居住总共六个月，以便对SMART项目进行合作研究，SMART项目是一个完全自动化的高层建筑建造系统。研究人员将重点关注：SMART项目生产率的提高，SMART质量提升的统计分析，建筑工作环境的安全改善，以及SMART项目与美国类似系统的比较。预计合作将带来新的发现和建议，可能对美国和日本的行业有所帮助。这项提案汇集了两个国家在建筑行业机器人领域工作的研究科学家。这位美国工程师和他的研究生将有机会熟悉清水株式会社先进技术部的研究技术、数据、设备和设施，同时为整个研究工作做出贡献。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。***

9415927 Kangari This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Roozbeh Kangari, Department of Civil Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Mr. Junichiro Maeda of the Advanced Technology Division of Shimizu Corporation. Project funding will enable Dr. Kangari and one of his graduate students to each spend a total of six months in Japan, resident at the Shimizu Corporation, in order to conduct cooperative research on the SMART project, a totally automated system for high-rise building construction. The researchers will focus their attention on: productivity improvement of the SMART project, statistical analysis of quality enhancement by SMART, safety improvement of the construction work environment, and comparison of the SMART project with similar systems in the U. S. It is expected that the collaboration will lead to new findings and recommendations that could assist the industry in the U. S. and Japan. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in the area of robotics in the construction industry. The U. S. engineer and his graduate student will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques, data, equipment, and facilities at the Shimizu Corporation's Advanced Technology Division while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
