Book synopsis

Single-Task Construction Robots (STCRs) are robots developed for use on the construction site. After the first experiments in large-scale prefabrication were successfully conducted in Japan and the first products proved successful on the market, the main contractor, Shimizu (1975, Tokyo), set up a research group for on-site construction robots. The focus was initially set on simple systems able to execute single, specific construction tasks in a repetitive manner. Today, STCRs are a worldwide research and development theme, and the tasks and application fields of STCRs expand continuously. Whereas the first approaches made in Japan built on relatively simple manipulators and mobile platforms used to distribute concrete, finish floors, install wall panels and move material, recently, new forms of STCRs have emerged, building on aerial approaches, additive manufacturing technologies, exoskeletons, swarm robotic approaches, self-assembling building structures and humanoid robot technology. This volume features 200 STCRs classified into 24 categories.
