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...

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.

Mobile Robotics for Offshore Automation

This paper describes application areas for mobile service robots in offshore oil and gas producing environments, requirements and restrictions for the use of the robots together with a first prototype and its evaluation in a field test. The field of offshore oil and gas production is analyzed in the first part to identify possible application scenarios for mobile automation. It shows that there...

A Robotics Toolbox for MATLABB - IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine

The Robotics Toolbox is a software package that allows a MATLAB user to readily create and manipulate datatypes fundamental to robotics such as homogeneous transformations, quaternions and trajectories. Functions provided, for arbitrary serial-link manipulators, include forward and inverse kinematics, Jacobians, and forward and inverse dynamics. This article introduces the Toolbox in tutorial f...
