Research on Construction Performance Evaluation of Robot in Wooden Structure Building Method
Abstract
Robots have been increasingly involved in global construction and are considered one of the most promising solutions for the reform of the construction industry. The superiority of the robotic construction process compared to the present stage of actual construction with predominantly human participation is mainly reflected in the high efficiency and high accuracy of its construction, thus improving the benefits to the natural, economic, and social environment and significantly changing the current construction labor market. At present, the development and application of robotic construction technology worldwide are mostly at the laboratory stage and are not applied to actual construction projects on a large scale. In this paper, we explore the methods and steps of robotic involvement in the construction of a complete timber building through the reconstruction of a completed timber building, from the design process and construction process to the final evaluation of construction efficiency. Finally, by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two design and construction methods, manual construction and robotic construction, the problems and difficulties in current robotic construction and the opportunities and challenges faced by robotic automation in the construction industry are identified.
