Site Automation

Automated/Robotic on-Site Factories

By Thomas Bock,Thomas Linner,Christos Georgoulas | Publisher: Cambridge University Press

About the book

The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for off-site as well as on-site building production. Site Automation extends the new technology of robotics in building-component manufacturing and construction introduced in earlier volumes to on-site structured environments and on-site automated factories. This volume explores 30 different worldwide systems within a careful analytical framework in which the best conceptual features are extracted in order to help professionals and researchers develop new applications. The analytical approach splits the systems studies into a technical portion and a portion that focuses on parameters related to productivity efficiency and economic performance. A benefit of automated on-site factories is the integration of several stand-alone single-task construction robots into structured on-site environments with networked machine systems to show improvements in on-site organization integration and material flow.
