This book offers distinct and unified insight into the current and future construction robotics, a comprehensive perspective that can construct the road map and illuminate improvements for a successful transition towards construction robotization. It covers the fundamentals and applications of robotics, autonomous vehicles, and human-perceptive machines at construction sites. Through theoretical and experimental analyses, it examines the potentials of robotics and automated systems for the current and future fieldwork operations and attempts to identify the factors that determine their implementation pace, adoption scale, and ubiquity throughout the industry. The book is a compilation of several scientific investigations that evaluate the technical, societal, and economic aspects of adopting robots in construction, both as standalone and collaborative systems, which in return can afford the opportunity to investigate these AI-enabled machines more systematically.weiterlesen
