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

9415927 Kangari本提案支持乔治亚理工学院土木工程系Roozbeh Kangari博士与清水株式会社先进技术部Junichiro Maeda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日本居住六个月，在清水公司进行SMART项目的合作研究，这是一个完全自动化的高层建筑建设系统。研究人员将集中研究：SMART工程的生产力提升、SMART工程质量提升的统计分析、建筑工作环境的安全改善，以及与美国类似系统的比较。预计此次合作将带来新的发现和建议，可以帮助美国和日本的行业。该提案汇集了两国在建筑行业机器人领域工作的研究科学家。美国工程师和他的研究生将有机会熟悉清水公司先进技术部的研究技术、数据、设备和设施，同时为整体研究工作做出贡献。因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转移方面的目标。* * *

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. ***
