“…Government agencies tend to concentrate more heavily on Construction Robotics relative to the other four categories. Research in that category is by no means limited to robotics; in fact, it covers a wide range of applications and technological aspects (Gambao and Balaguer, 2002). Robot technology has far-reaching effects on technology development, but most of the research in that area is conducted by the government, since the development costs are high.…”

Attention to development of automation and robotics technology in the construction industry seems to have been growing and there has been an increased awareness of the potential benefits of automation and robotics technology development. Although research and development (R&D) facilitates progress in the state of technology and-in the long run-yields significant savings in time and money for companies that take advantage of it, the costs of R&D in the short term are high and resources are limited. Analysis of trends in existing research is helpful in identifying where further R&D is needed and in suggesting directions for future research. In addition, it can be used to help predict the return on investment in individual technologies. This study was to identify global trends and issues in automation and robotics technology in the construction industry by analyzing papers published in the proceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC). The results of that analysis show that various research topics are actively researched from the viewpoint of automation in construction and contributed by different countries and regions as well as different types of research institutions.

“…The use of robotics systems in the construction field had been a common research area, and several studies review the advantages in the use of robotic platforms for construction [40][41] and underground construction [42] purposes. Robotic systems can complete the inspection process with objective results and high efficiency.…”

-Tunnels environments are characterized by dust, humidity, and absence of natural light. Artificial and natural impacts, change in load criteria, or the simple effect of ageing, make tunnels require inspection and maintenance. These operations are commonly performed by human workers taking time and expertise without guarantee quality control. Robotic tunnel inspection and maintenance (RTIM) introduces high productivity, quality and repetitiveness. This paper describes the current trends in the subject, and introduces new technologies such as scenario modeling, robotic platforms, image and ultrasound sensors, control algorithms and decision making strategies. Additionally, the result of several recent and ongoing projects will be presented.

The actual research trends in robotics and automation in construction industry (RAC) are much different in comparison with the last decade. While during the 90s the R&D activities were focused in the development of new robotic systems (most of them teleoperated) and in existing machinery automation, the actual efforts are concentrated more in the software integration, sensory data acquisition and processing, safety and secure systems, sensor-based process control and construction industrialization. This paper deals with the short state-of-the-art in the actual and features RAC research areas, including representative examples.
