Cobot uptake in construction: embedding collaborative robots in digital construction processes

The paper at hand investigates the interrelation of automation and collaboration in digital construction processes. Labor shortage, demographic change, and a deficit in productivity motivate automation in construction. While the automation of single tasks is on its way, there is a lack of collaboration between automated equipment and robots along the digital construction process. To foster the development of collaborating robots, definitions and classification criteria for automation and collaboration activities are given. With these criteria at hand, it is possible to classify scientific examples from literature. On top of that, the paper introduces a prototyping framework for automated and collaborative equipment. The framework is thoroughly tested in an earthworks case study consisting of automated and collaborative excavation and compacting of an area. Through the collaboration of an automated excavator and vibratory plate, it is possible to simultaneously execute the ‘excavation’ and ‘compaction’ task, speeding up the overall earthworks process by a factor of almost two. Along with a higher productivity, the high degree of automation allows for safer work, as less workers are exposed to dangerous workspaces and the quality increases through continuous quality checking and integrated documentation of as-built data in BIM models.

“…Heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration tasks leverage the diverse capabilities and complementary attributes of the robots to enhance the scalability and robustness of the multi-agent system. There are already some heterogeneous robot combinations proposed such as aerial-ground collaboration [21,53], main-picket collaboration [13], and humanoid-quadruped collaboration [43]. However, challenges in coordination, planning, and execution are also presented.…”

BHACS was established to fill the lack of a large representative cohort of the elderly based on general populations and was designed to evaluate the prevalence, incidence, and natural history of cognitive decline, functional disability, and conventional vascular risk factors. The objectives were to determine the evolution of those diseases by estimating rates and impact factors of progression and reversion to adverse outcomes including dementia, cardiovascular events, cancer, and all-cause death. Therefore, it can provide evidence to help policy-makers develop better policies to promote healthy aging in China. BHACS was formed by three cohorts in Beijing with a total population of 11 235 (6281 in urban, 4954 in rural), the baseline survey time and follow-up time differed between the three. BLSA was followed up in 2014 with the baseline survey completed in 2009; CCHS-Beijing was followed up twice in 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 as its baseline survey was performed in 2013-2015; BECHCS was followed up every two or three years with the baseline investigation completed in 2010-2014. Data were collected using questionnaires, physical measurements, and laboratory analysis. Topics of BHACS include numerous physical and mental health indicators, living habits, and personal, familial, and socio-economic health determinants. There is no immediate plan to make the cohort data freely available in the public domain, specific proposals for further collaboration are welcome.

“…The study showed that multi-robot collaboration could be possible using an interface to link the three with human intervention. While this study had the robots operate in a controlled environment that simulated an actual construction site and did not represent the constant flux of conditions and variables, it presented a compelling idea that can be expanded upon (Wallace et al, 2020).…”

Researchers around the world are developing autonomous robot systems to assist humans with tedious, hazardous, complex, and timeconsuming tasks. Today, autonomous robots are used for a variety of applications, ranging from delivering food to operating on patients. A robotic system can be operated with or without human assistance, depending on whether it is manned or unmanned. Additionally, the robot may be classified as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), or Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), depending on its operational conditions. An autonomous robot may be equipped with manipulators and advanced sensors, such as a LiDAR camera, which can collect 3D spatial data. The present study reviews recent research and development of unmanned ground vehicles, including two nature-inspired designed robots called SPOT and DIGIT and presents its technical data. In addition, this study introduces the challenges and applications of these robots. A novel type of comparison was made in this study between some UGVs, human and animalinspired designed robots, where researchers were able to get an idea of different robot basic specifications that could be used to select these robots for future research. As a result of this study, two more studies will be conducted in the future.
