Abstract:Construction is one of the world’s largest and least automated industries, relying on the cooperation of multiple people with diverse skillsets in labor intensive, physical tasks. Since the 1980s, efforts to introduce robots into construction contexts have mostly focused on automating discrete tasks or monitoring site activities. In this paper, by contrast, we show how robots might be designed to adaptively support the cooperative work of construction teams. Following an indicative review of the state of the a… Show more
