“…In the future, the presented method can be a contribution to ensure the safety and reliability of cable-driven parallel robots operating beyond their W F W, e.g., after a cable break. This is highly relevant in industrial applications, such as warehousing or automated construction [1,3].…”

Under special circumstances, a cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) may leave its wrench-feasible-workspace. Standard approaches for the computation of set-point cable forces are likely to fail in this case. The novel nearest corner method for calculating appropriate cable forces when the CDPR is outside of its wrench-feasible-workspace was introduced in former work of the authors. The obtained cable force distributions aim at continuity and generate wrenches close to the desired values. The method employs geometrical operations in the cable force space and promises real-time usability because of its non-iterative structure. In a simplified simulation, a cable break scenario was used to carry out more detailed testing of the method regarding different parameters, a higher number of cables, and the numerical efficiency. A brief discussion about the continuity of the method when entering the wrench-feasible-workspace is presented.

“…Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPR) are in the focus of current research [1,2] and are also starting to make their way into industrial applications, see e.g., [3]. Such a robot is driven by cables, which are coiled on computerized winches and attached to an end-effector, following the kinematic structure of a Stewart-Gough platform.…”

“…Moreover, the use of 5G networks allows for connections between different robot systems to form a production chain [15]. Repetitive construction procedures, such as building masonry walls, can be performed with robots instead of manual labour [29]. Combining different automated production methods can customise the realisation of a building and thereby reduce the risk for product deviation.…”

Quantitative Review of Construction 4.0 Technology Presence in Construction Project Research

The development of technologies associated with the fourth industrial revolution is rapid. Construction 4.0 represents the architecture, engineering, construction and operations industries exploration of new technologies, equivalent to Industry 4.0 for the manufacturing industry. These concepts address multiple perspectives besides the technological, such as management and processes. The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent research regarding construction projects addresses information and communication, automatisation or industrialisation technologies. A scoping review was the method used to perform a quantitative analysis of over two thousand journal papers published from 2015 onwards. The results show that new technologies are addressed separately, while synergy studies are uncommon. Longitudinal analyses show that there was no significant increase in journal papers concerning new technologies from 2015 to 2019. Information and communication was the search criterion with the least number of papers found. The environmental perspective of new technologies was present but the least common from 2019 to 2020. Hence, this review shows that there is an extensive research gap regarding Construction 4.0 technologies in the context of construction projects. Studies regarding synergy and environmental effects of new technologies should increase to start the progress towards a successful entry into the fourth industrial revolution.

“…These systems are used here, as in other areas of stationary production as well, for many consistent tasks. Contrary to this, robot systems have not been able to assert on the construction site to this day as discussed in previous publications [1], [2], [3]. A possible reason for this is the reliance of the construction industry on 2D model prints, as well as unique project/product specifications, which limits Available online at 2019.creative-construction-conference.com/proceedings/ CCC 2019…”

Since robotics become more widespread in the construction industry, more construction phases and work steps must be covered with one robot system. Current robot systems are used almost exclusively in precast construction. At the construction site, so far only prototypes are in use, and only individual parts of the building shell construction and assembly can be covered. This paper examines to what extent fastenings are necessary to increase the operating range of robots and which boundary conditions exist or need to be addressed. Automated construction, and more precisely installation of fastenings, has so far been partially implemented, which has shown increased productivity as well as installation quality, thus load-bearing safety. This knowledge must now be extended to robots. The present work is based on an overview of current research and development and on the current research on a cable robot for brickwork construction at the university Duisburg-Essen. It further demonstrates that fastenings pose an important further application, especially in order to explore the extended phases towards the brickwork or contour crafting. It can be assumed that robots will become increasingly important in the construction industry. Reasons include high quality, safety, speed and economic aspects.
