Embedded Architecture of a Hydraulic Demolition Machine for Robotic Teleoperation in the Construction Sector

Effectiveness of VR-based training on improving construction workers’ knowledge, skills, and safety behavior in robotic teleoperation

“…Automation and robotics are frequently presented as an alternative to alleviate some of the safety concerns, mitigate labor shortages, and improve productivity rates in the construction industry. In the past decade, it has been observed that the construction industry is experiencing a significant increase in the number of robots deployed on-site [7]. In addition, current reports indicate that more than 7,000 new construction robots will be introduced to construction sites by 2025 [8] and that 46% of construction tasks have the potential to be automated [9].…”

Development of disaster‐responding special‐purpose machinery: Results of experiments

“…Among the significant robot technologies applicable to construction machines, a technology that can be operated with attention only to the end‐effector, where work is mainly performed, can drastically reduce the operator workload. A study shows that the end‐effector tracks a predefined trajectory by configuring the architecture of the system and the closed‐loop control structure (Tanzini et al, 2006). By utilizing the existing hardware components of the demolition machine BROKK 170 and the CAN bus protocol, there is a study to control the teleoperated machine from the cartesian coordinate control instead of individually controlling each axis with joysticks (H. J. Lee & Brell‐Cokcan, 2021).…”
