Budgeting automation in construction companies

Robots and Construction Automation

The United Slates lacks in the research and development of robots and construction automation. In comparison, construction companies in Japan take more aggressive stand in the research and development of this technology. This paper studies both Japan and US basic construction activities, research and development, social implications , automation technology, and construction robots economic feas...

Construction Automation and Robotics

A competitive, market oriented and rationalized construction tomorrow requires developing of automated and robotized construction system today. This includes industrialized process originating in a mining, construction material production, prefabrication of construction components, on site construction, facility management, rehabilitation and recycling. Today’s construction projects are charact...

Trends in Robotics and Automation in Construction

Until very recently, the construction industry was one of the most unfamiliar R&D fields for the robotics and automation community, despite the fact that this industry is one of the oldest and represents the largest economic sectors. The construction industry’s contribution to the GDP in industrialized countries is about 7-10%. In the US this contribution rises to 12% and in the EU there are ab...

Hybrid Construction Automation and Robotics

Robots were originally introduced in the production of industrialized building components and modular housing. Later mobile robots were developed for special on-site construction tasks. Automated construction sites use robotics for logistics and assembly. The technological progress of robotics allows recently the automated production of facades, which is described in this keynote.
