This paper reports on the continuing design of an autonomous multipurpose mobile robot intended for concrete slab finishing, grinding, and cleaning during construction. Common to these three applications are rotating tools in contact with the floor. Selectively adaptable to one machine, these tools will perform recurrent tasks on a construction site. In Phase 1, an experimental vehicle has been built to test navigation concepts including path planning, location measurement, and path following. Steering and locomotion of the experimental vehicle are provided by two independently steered and powered wheel sets enabling the vehicle to perform complex manoeuvres required by the selected application. In Phase 2, a robot prototype equipped with tools is under development. Different vehicle-tool configurations have been modelled and simulated in order to attain optimal mobility and surface coverage.

Robotics techniques in operation in the industry or under development in laboratories supply basic functions to carry out many different operations. Some of these techniques are compatible with construction sites operations under reasonable economic constraints, some other are not (too fragile, too costly, ...). Obviously, construction site operations are executed by means of a set of basic functions (handling, pouring, spraying, ...). It is then interesting to detail the parameters of these functions in order to compare the needs with the potential capacities of robotics techniques.From such a comparison, we expect to point out the needs and demands of professionals for robotizing construction operations. We also expect to draw out the main lines of the evolutions of construction techniques that will be necessary to fit with the capacities of robotics techniques. The backbone of this study is a classification of construction operations that helps to split operations in tasks and tasks in basic functions. The parameters of each function are defined with professionals. This information is then processed in order to reach the assigned goals. This paper presents the main lines of this study and states the major results and difficulties in carrying out this work.
