Construction Robotic Equipment Management System (CREMS)

摘要

Robotics application to the execution of construction tasks has been attracting attention in the engineering community since early 1980's, both in Japan and in other highly industrialized nations. First working prototypes of construction robots have been appearing in Japan on a number of construction sites operated by several leading Japanese construction firms. This paper outlines a research project focused on the planning and management aspects of the use of robotic equipment in construction tasks. This project concentrates on four system modules: Construction Task Analysis Module (CTAM); Robot Capability Analysis Module (RCAM); Robot Economics Evaluation Module (REEM); and Robot Implementation Logistics Module (RILM). This paper briefly describes each of these modules, and presents a summary of results obtained from research completed to date on CTAM.
