Description

Positional accuracy for robotic structural assembly. Building automation becomes promising with the supports from robotics and computer-vision technologies while accurate positioning is the key for its success. This project aims to understand various sources and physically quantify for the positional inaccuracies of robotic systems in navigation and placement, and finally mitigate such offsets into acceptable level for robotic structural assembly. The outcomes are expected to transform current labour-intensive practices in construction to automated manufacturing processes. This should provide significant benefits with improved productivity and safety and minimized waste of resource and energy, therefore contributing to the overall sustainability in construction..
