Overview

Construction Robotics is a dedicated platform exploring the integration of robotics into construction and demolition processes.

Presents research and applications in prefabrication, assembly, and disassembly through robotics.
Explores robotic site mapping, real-time vision, and material handling systems.
Examines the social, environmental, and legislative implications of construction robotics.
Serves as a forum for the growing community of construction robotics and related research in architecture and civil engineering.
