Construction robots continue to be increasingly deployed on construction sites to assist
human workers in various tasks to improve safety, efficiency, and productivity. Due to the …

A cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) was developed for the installation of curtain wall
modules (CWM). The research addressed the question of whether the CDPR was capable …

Single-task construction robots (STCRs) have become a popular research topic for decades.
However, there is still a gap in the ubiquitous application of STCRs for onsite construction …

Purpose Because of the sharply growing interest worldwide of “hard” physical-mechanical
robot systems for the execution of on-site construction tasks [ie single-task construction …

Abstract Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) has shown promise of combining human
workers' flexibility and robot assistants' physical abilities to jointly address the uncertainties …

The installation of curtain wall modules (CWMs) is a risky activity carried out in the heights
and often under unfavorable weather conditions. CWMs are heavy prefabricated walls that …

Automated measurement of the relative pose between a crane borne curtain wall module
and its installation location on the side face of a high-rise building can be applied to …

In the construction of high-rise buildings, the conventional methods for the on-site
installation of prefabricated facade modules require considerable manual handling. This …

The dissertation explores how to transform an on-site construction robot from the conceptual
stage to the near market uptake stage. The featured case study is based on the first phase of …

Due to a constantly growing interest in construction robots, guidance on the design and
management for its development process is needed to employ the best practice know-how …
