“…To further define construction manipulators, it is useful to generalize the construction environment into an internal environment (inside the building envelope) and an external environment (outside the building envelope) [1]. In the internal environment where the work space is relatively small and confined, construction manipulators are used to assemble partitions and fixtures, and finish interior walls and ceiling.…”

55Large-Scale Manipulators (LSMs) are gaining attention in construction automation research because of their long reach and positioning capabilities. A case study based on the Model Plant data compiled by the Construction Industry Institute indicates that LSMs have very high potential in industrial construction. They can be used for pipe, cable tray and structural steel erection as well as elevated concrete placement, painting and sandblasting, which on average constitute 33%% of the total project work-hours. Use of LSMs can reduce the amount of non-value added tasks, increase productivity, shorten construction time, and improve workers' safety. A task selection framework which uses a decision matrix to evaluate the uses of LSMs is developed. The same framework could also he used for evaluating the usefulness of other types of automated equipment or machinery in various construction projects.

Robotics and construction have at least one common characteristic, both are manifestly fragmented and subject to high levels of specialisation. As such, the sources of information and knowledge necessary to bridge the interface between the two communities is difficult to identify, and effecting comprehension of their technologies and cultures is problematic. This paper outlines a collaborative project which seeks to develop a new common language, syntax and structure to enable effective communication between the two communities.
