Collaborative robotics for structural assembly and construction automation

最新的机器人技术为建筑业提供了提高质量和生产率的巨大机会，但尚未开发出满足这一需求的最先进的研究基础设施。拟建的设施旨在为结构组装和建筑自动化提供一个独特的研发平台。它 通过灵活和自适应的结构设计和仪器设备，为协作机器人团队在交互环境中实现自动化预制、组装和建造。这一成果有望将目前劳动密集型的建筑业转变为高度自动化和精准的制造业，具有显著的经济和安全效益。

Recent robotic technologies present great opportunity for construction industry to improve quality and productivity while no state of the art research infrastructure has been developed yet for this need. The proposed facility aims to provide a unique platform on research and development for structural assembly and construction automation. It features by a flexible and adaptive design and instrumentation of structures and space for a team of collaborative robotics in an interactive environment to achieve automated prefabrication, assembly and building. The outcomes are expected to transform current labor-intensive construction industry to highly automated and accurate manufacturing industry with significant benefits to economy and safety.
