“…There has been a trend toward a different approach that expands beyond simply increasing the size of the setup, and instead makes use of existing additional material to address the challenge of robotic reach. Minibuilders are mobile robots that can climb onto the structure they are about to build (58); in distributed robotic timber construction, the building material is temporarily used as a robotic link (59); and in collaborative robotic construction with irregular material, the robots utilize the construction material (bamboo) to propel themselves to new locations (60). In a similar approach, Fiberbots climb onto the structure they build in order to grow the final structure (61).…”

Over the past decades, robotics has shown great potential to impact the built environment, from automation to differentiation and efficient construction. However, construction processes are highly complex and require tackling a multitude of problems, from safety and robustness to ease of control and interactivity. For this reason, the field of construction robotics is still evolving, requiring finding solutions for new challenges every day. The present review analyzes the role of robotics in construction and architecture over time and highlights current trends in shifting from pure automation toward collaborative and adaptive processes that have the potential to fully integrate robotics into a rigid and challenging industry, such as construction. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, Volume 14 is May 2023.

Although collective robotic construction systems are beginning to showcase how multi-robot systems can contribute to building construction by efficiently building low-cost, sustainable structures, the majority of research utilizes non-structural or highly customized materials. A modular collective robotic construction system based on a robotic actuator, which leverages timber struts for the assembly of architectural artifacts as well as part of the robot body for locomotion is presented. The system is co-designed for in-plane assembly from an architectural, robotic, and computer science perspective in order to integrate the various hardware and software constraints into a single workflow. The system is tested using five representative physical scenarios. These proof-of-concept demonstrations showcase three tasks required for construction assembly: the ability of the system to locomote, dynamically change the topology of connecting robotic actuators and timber struts, and collaborate to transport timber struts. As such, the groundwork for a future autonomous collective robotic construction system that could address collective construction assembly and even further increase the flexibility of on-site construction robots through its modularity is laid.

Die aktuelle Generation von Planern ist mit der Aufgabe konfrontiert, neue, nachhaltigere Bausysteme zu entwickeln, um der Problematik der Ressourcenknappheit, der Verstädterung, dem Klima‐, aber auch dem demografischen Wandel entgegenzuwirken. Hierbei ist die Frage nach deren effizienter Herstellung unter Nutzung nachwachsender Rohstoffe in den Fokus der Forschungsbemühungen gerückt. In den letzten Jahren hat der Automatisierungsgrad in der Vorfertigung unter der Agenda der produktbasierten Bausysteme zugenommen, die ein hohes Potenzial aufweisen, aber in Umgebungen, wo eine höhere Flexibilität erforderlich ist, nur bedingt zielführend sind. Die Realisierung ressourcensparender Entwürfe führt unweigerlich zu kleinen Losgrößen und einmalig zu produzierenden Bauelementen, die für eine effiziente Fabrikation anpassungsfähige Vorfertigungsanlagen für eine Vielzahl von Lösungen erfordern. Am Exzellenzcluster Integratives computerbasiertes Planen und Bauen für die Architektur (IntCDC) werden Methoden erforscht, welche mittels Mensch‐Maschine‐Kollaboration eine Steigerung von Flexibilität und Adaptivität der Vorfabrikation und Konstruktion von Bauwerken anstreben. Dazu werden neben der Durchführung von Untersuchungen zur Augmented‐Reality‐Technologie‐unterstützten Integration und Kommunikation von Mensch und Maschine auch auf maschinellem Lernen basierende Trainingsmethoden und Vorhersagemodelle entwickelt.
