In this volume, concepts, technologies and developments in the
field of building-component manufacturing - based on concrete,
brick, wood and steel as building materials and on large-scale
prefabrication, delivering complex, customized components and
products - are introduced and discussed. Robotic industrialization
refers to the transformation of parts and low-level components into
higher-level components, modules and finally building systems by
highly mechanized, automated, or robot-supported industrial
settings in structured off-site environments. Components and
modules are open building systems (in modular building product
structures) that are delivered by suppliers to original equipment
manufacturers such as, for example, large-scale prefabrication
companies or automated/robotic on-site factories. In particular,
innovative large-scale prefabrication companies have altered the
building structures, manufacturing processes, and organizational
structures significantly to be able to assemble in their factories
high-level components and modules from Tier-1 suppliers into
customized buildings by heavily utilizing robotic technology in
combination with automated logistics and production lines.
Robot-Oriented Design introduces the design, innovation, and
management methodologies that are key to the realization and
implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented
in the subsequent volumes of The Cambridge Handbooks in
Construction Robotics series. This book describes the efficient
deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is
concerned with the co-adaptation of construction products,
processes, organization, and management, and with automated/robotic
technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes
easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and
innovation management methodologies and the generation of life
cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in
construction.
The new research field of Ambient/Active Assisted Living (AAL) is
quickly evolving. Ambient Integrated Robotics provides an
easy-to-understand medical perspective to architects, designers,
and engineers, bridging the different disciplines and showing how
they fuse together to create the future of AAL technology. Using
robotics as an example, the book illustrates how embedding its
subsystems results in unique ambient technology that can be used to
help people, particularly in adapting to the needs of the unwell
and elderly populations. You will be provided with the knowledge
and tools to contribute to the future of AAL. The Cambridge
Handbooks on Construction Robotics series gives professionals,
researchers, lecturers, and students basic conceptual and technical
skills and strategies to manage, research, or teach the
implementation of advanced automation, and robot-technology-based
processes and technologies in construction. Books discuss progress
in robot systems theory and demonstrates their integration using
real applications and projections.
