  • Abstract:
    The paper examines possible applications of robotics to building construction. First, the main features of industrial robots and their applications are described. Then, building activities are separated into basic components, and the performance requirements from a robot, necessary for their execution, are specified. A conceptual description of four types of construction robots is derived from these performance requirements. An adaptation of the construction process and of building components for efficient application of these robots is then analyzed. Some special problems associated with robotization of construction process are also explored.
