The majority of work in the field of construction robotics has focussed on the adaptation of existing industrial robots to automate traditional construction processes that use basic materials . This paper introduces a new approach , that of construction based on a factory -produced 'parts-set' especially suited to a range of on-site purpose -designed robots, aimed at the provision of high-tech buildings . This approach is intended to deskill as much site-based work as possible as a counter-measure against the increasing shortage of skilled operatives and to reduce unit costs of production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
