Abstract

The main issue which has to be addressed, when one considers the robotisation of civil engineering tasks, is the paradigm of computer integrated construction .This paper first stresses the advantages that a common digital data base, managing all the geometry of the structure all along its construction , could bring .Then, it analyses the state-of-the-art solutions that can be used for equipment positioning , which is the common technological key to all the applications, with reference to the different families of machines.Finally, are described some products or projects which proceed from that paradigm of computer integrated construction.
