Over the past decades, robotics has shown great potential to impact the built environment,
from automation to differentiation and efficient construction. However, construction …

Building construction has developed from the use of primitive tools to that of machinery, with
a tendency toward automation. Automation of processes and robotics can improve …

In architectural construction, automated robotic assembly is challenging due to occurring
tolerances, small series production and complex contact situations, especially in assembly …

This paper presents a novel approach to non-standard timber assembly–Robotic Timber
Construction (RTC)–where robotic fabrication is used to expand additive digital fabrication …

Abstract 3d printing of cementitious material is a relatively new additive manufacturing
process whose growing interest and fast development is mainly due to the digitalised …

This paper presents the concept of an In situ Fabricator, a mobile robot intended for on-site
manufacturing, assembly and digital fabrication. We present an overview of a prototype …

Learn how Single-Task Construction Robots (STCRs) can improve productivity in the
construction industry with this cross-disciplinary text. This third volume in The Cambridge …

This paper describes the implementation of a discrete in situ construction process using a
location-aware mobile robot. An undulating dry brick wall is semi-autonomously fabricated in …

This paper takes a first step in characterizing a novel field of architectural research-aerial
robotic construction (ARC)-where aerial robotics is used not only for construction, but as a …

Geometrically complex masonry structures (eg, arches, domes, vaults) are traditionally built
with scaffolding or falsework to provide stability during construction. The process of building …
