In this paper, the authors referred to the development of the suitable modification technology of architectural space in alignment with change in circumstance surrounding lifestyle of residents as necessary. A design method of architectural space and building elements, and a handling method of structural objects of having used robotic technology are proposed as a proposal of adaptability of building. The development and design of a Floor Adaptable System (FAS), which can modify architectural space by moving up and down of floor units, was performed. The Floor Adaptable System installation and test operation was done in WABOT-HOUSE, and showed the operation process. According to the result, the authors confirmed the possibility of the Floor Adaptable System with hydraulic jacks, and mentioned the factors necessary to develop for further practical use.
The authors developed a system to improve the performance of construction supervisors. The system provides an image which shows the situation of currently working top-floor to computer monitor of supervisor. Cameras are attached on the tower-crane, and the rawimages from cameras are transformed and assembled by the program. The system was used in actual site and evaluated in term of practical utility. According to the result, the authors confirmed that the system describes images of working top-floor which supervisors can recognize the situation without physical observation.
To improve the efficiency of construction site management, we developed a system that provides a three-dimensional model (3D model) textured with images of the status of working areas where construction work is under way. The system has already been applied to a construction site for evaluating its practical performance. The evaluation results confirm that the system is effective for assessing the status of working areas and reducing the manpower required for managing construction work.
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.
