In according to quantity of various consumption materials in construction sites of complex projects such as oil industry, infrastructure, and large scale commercial, management and monitoring of materials can affect on the final time and cost of project’s activities. In today’s world of rising labor costs and labor shortages, automated materials tracking can provide some advantage to impr...

With rising road construction and maintenance costs and the lack of productivity improvement, automated road construction and maintenance equipment will provide an attractive alternative for the execution of routine work tasks in the future. This paper reviews the typical tasks applicable to this domain, as well as existing and future automated equipment for task execution. The distinction betw...

Automated construction technologies have been developed and introduced in the Japanese construction industries since the 1980s. However, the construction industry remains a craftoriented and labor-intensive industry with minimal automation of tasks. Automation of construction processes has potential significant effects on construction of buildings. This paper describes the history of research a...

In this paper a method for automatically solving a class of straightedge-and-compass construction problems is proposed. These are the problems where the goal is to construct a triangle given three located points. The method is based on identifying and systematizing geometric knowledge, a specific, restricted search and handling redundant or locus dependent instances. The proposed method is impl...

A rectangular cartogram is a type of map where every region is a rectangle. The size of the rectangles is chosen such that their areas represent a geographic variable (e.g., population). Good rectangular cartograms are hard to generate: The area specifications for each rectangle may make it impossible to realize correct adjacencies between the regions and so hamper the intuitive understanding o...

In this tutorial, we exemplify automated modeling for a small example system. Assume a receptor R that can bind the ligand L. We consider one additional binding site which undergoes autophosphorylation and is influenced by the state of the ligand binding site. Therefore, a graded interaction [1] is present between the processes of ligand binding and autophosphorylation. An effector E can bind t...

Automation as pertaining to the construction industry is the use of mechanical and electronic means to achieve automatic operation or control to reduce potential exposure, time, or effort while maintaining or improving quality. Contractors utilize automated technologies on projects as a means of saving cost, reducing project durations, improving quality and consistency, and gaining other relate...

We present an origami construction of a maximum equilateral triangle inscribed in an origami, and an automated proof of the correctness of the construction. The construction and the correctness proof are achieved by a computational origami system called Eos (E-origami system). In the construction we apply the techniques of geometrical constraint solving, and in the automated proof we apply Gröb...
