Automation and robotization has been required in construction for several decades and construction industry has become one of the important research areas in the field of service robotics. Especially in the steel construction, automatic recognition of structural steel members in the stockyard is emphasized. However, since the pose of steel frame in the stockyard is site dependent and also the stockyard is usually in the outdoor environment, it is difficult to determine the pose automatically. This paper adopts the recognition method based on the augmented reality to cope with this problem. Particularly focusing on the light condition of the outdoor environment, we formulated the optimization problem with the constraint and suggested the methodology to evaluate the optimal camera arrangement. From simulation results, sub-optimal solution for the position of the camera can be obtained.

현재, 전 세계적으로 건설 산업의 문제점으로 인식되고 있는 낮은 생산성, 숙련공 부족, 인력의 부족, 높은 재해율 등을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 낙후된 건설 생산시스템의 첨단 기술화를 위한 건설 자동화연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 1980년대부터 건설자동화 연구가 진행되고 있으며 기계화 및 반자동화를 통한 생력화를 위한 연구가 주로 진행되었다. 그러나 최근 IT기술의 비약적 발전과 함께 건설 로봇의 개발에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있으며 2006년 말부터 국토해양부의 건설기술혁신사업의 일환으로 토공자동화를 위한 지능형 굴삭시스템이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 굴삭시스템의 최종 개발 목표와 2차 년도까지 진행된 연구내용에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

건축공사에서 먹매김 공정은 건물의 구성요소를 계획된 위치에 정확히 형성하기 위한 기준이 되므로 높은 정밀도가 요구된다. 최근의 건축물 규모 증가 및 숙련공 부족 추세에서 먹매김 공사는 로봇 기반의 자동화 기술 도입을 통한 생산성 및 품질 향상 요구가 크게 나타나고 있으며, 특히 가장 선행되는 골조공사 먹매김 작업의 중요도 및 자동화 필요성은 더욱 크다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 건축물 골조공사용 먹매김에 적합한 시공 자동화 시스템 개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 기존 유사 기술 고찰을 토대로 하여 5가지 구성기술과 17개의 세부 기술요소를 도출하였으며, 전문가 설문을 통한 중요도 평가를 수행하였다. 설문 결과, 열악한 주행 및 작업 환경에 대응하기 위한 주행부 및 마킹부 기술이 가장 중요한 구성기술로 파악되었으며, 이러한 환경에서 정밀도를 확보하기 위한 제어기술과 전반적인 프로세스의 자동화기술의 중요성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 보다 실용적이고 효율적인 자동화 시스템 개발에 기여할 것이다.

Civil engineering construction work has always been accompanied by a high proportion of tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant or both. Enhancing the general working environment and boosting safety levels are critical issues for the industry. In addition to that, the industry has been slow to utilize automation & robot technology, and there is substantial scope for the use of technology th boost efficiency, cut costs and improve quality levels in construction. In a bid to address this issue, Ministry of Construction & Transportation launched a five-year project in 2003 entitled Development of Intelligent Excavating System. The aim of the project is to use telecommunications and robotics technology to minimize inefficiencies and eliminate the dangerous and unpleasant aspects of tile construction process through the development of specific applications such as IT-equipped construction machinery and advanced construction management systems. In this paper, the project introduces on the research and development content related to multi-disciplinary, a intuitive operator control unit(Robot Technology) included.

Automatic welding has been used frequently on pipeline projects. The productivity and reliability are most essential features of the automatic welding system. The mechanized GMAW process is the most widely used welding process and the carriage and band system is most effective welding system for pipeline laying. This application-oriented paper introduces new automatic welding equipment for pipeline construction. It is based on cutting-edge design and practical welding physics to minimize downtime. This paper also describes the control system which was designed and implemented for new automatic welding equipment. The system has the self diagnostic function which facilitates maintenance and repairs, and also has the network function via which the welding task data can be transmitted and the welding process data can be monitored. The laser vision sensor was designed for narrow welding groove in order to implement higher accuracy of seam tracking and fully automatic operation.

Construction robotics is rapidly forming a market in conjunction with the development of sensing and artificial intelligence technologies. The layout work for accurately constructing the shape and dimensions of the building frame requires high accuracy and precision, and is one of the high demands for productivity and quality improvement through construction automation. Thus, as a preliminary study, we derived the elemental factors and performance requirements for developing an automated layout robot. In addition, alternatives on driving and marking units were investigated based on literature review and practioner's interview. The result of this study will be used as a basic data for the layout robot design.

The welding technology must fit to the purpose of each construction. The includes a careful understanding of demands, the adapted materials and their behaviour subjected to welding. The manufacturing is very essential too. The education of welding and control personnel will change. The integration of robotics, sensing and automation in the production makes the role of personnel and their responsibility very different. The paper tries to give the state of the art and an estimation for this and possibly the next decade(Fig. 1)

A large number of employees shifted to Work from home (WFH) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the construction workforce. The changes in workload and productivity due to WFH impact the work performance and economic outputs of companies. However, there are mixed results about the impacts of WFH on workload and productivity. In particular, limited studies focused on specific types of work of different occupations in the construction workforce. This study aims to explore the impacts of WFH on workload and productivity considering different types of work for the construction workforce in the U.S. After identifying three main occupations and five types of work, an online survey (N = 69) was distributed. Descriptive analysis showed that participants had less workload (0.82 hours/week) and lower productivity (9.69%) during WFH. Three occupations had varied changes due to the different types of work. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicated that there was no significant difference in workload, while productivity was decreased during WFH. In particular, the productivity of project-related work and communication and documentation decreased significantly. Overall, participants finished 2.85% less workload per week during WFH. The findings provide an insight into WFH in the construction workforce, which improves future remote or hybrid work arrangements in the construction industry.

A new GA-based methodology using information granules is suggested for the construction of fuzzy classifiers. The proposed scheme consists of three steps: selection of information granules, construction of the associated fuzzy sets, and tuning of the fuzzy rules. First, the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to the development of the adequate information granules. The fuzzy sets are then constructed from the analysis of the developed information granules. An interpretable fuzzy classifier is designed by using the constructed fuzzy sets. Finally, the GA is utilized for tuning of the fuzzy rules, which can enhance the classification performance on the misclassified data (e.g., data with the strange pattern or on the boundaries of the classes). To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, an example, the classification of the Iris data, is provided.
