Engineering Research Equipment Grant - Building and Construction Research: Construction Robotics System Laboratory

购买这种设备将提高质量并扩大目前正在进行的两项主要国家科学基金会研究拨款的范围(MSM-8615187--给哈尔平教授的分包部分，以及MSM-8657142--给斯基布涅夫斯基教授的总统研究员补助金)。这项研究的总体目标是研究高科技对当今建筑工艺的适应性。这将通过研究某些建筑作业对修改的灵活性来实现。拟议的设备提供了在模拟真实世界条件下模拟自动化数据采集系统、固定式和半固定式柔性制造系统、自动化质量控制和自动化材料管理的机会。

Acquisition of this equipment will improve the quality and broaden the scope of two major National Science Foundation research grants presently in progress (grant MSM-8615187--subcontract portion to Professor Halpin, and MSM-8657142--Presidential Investigator grant to Professor Skibniewski). The overall goal of the research is to study the adaptability of high technology to today's construction processes. This will be accomplished by studying the flexibility of certain construction operations to modification. The proposed equipment provides the opportunity to emulate automated data acquisition systems, fixed and semi-fixed flexible manufacturing systems, automated quality control and automated material management in simulated real world conditions.
