Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2016Description: 1 online resource (xxiv, 316 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781139872027 (ebook).Subject(s): Industrialized building | Construction industry -- Automation | RoboticsAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 338.4/5624 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: 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.
