Robots have been investigated for automation of construction, maintenance, and inspection of civil works since the early 1980s. This book presents research in construction robot which are more flexible, adjustable, and able to cope with constantly changing construction environments. It focuses on the environment and motivation for implementation of robotics, identifies key centers of development, identifies regional differences, and describes progress in key areas. It also traces the emergence and change of development strategies over time, it identifies practical achievements, and it identifies key developments for the future. Research and development in construction robots is intended to extend present capabilities of conventional equipment to an integrated and fully automated system.
