Summary: "Increased utilization of the robots is a parameter that always promises more results for the industry. Achieving this aim is best helped by a detailed look through a scientific approach to further advancement of this technology. This book will trace how the construction robotics was coined and its evolution from ancient times till this date. There is a plethora of information out there on the development of robotics. The existing automation can at best given clues on what improvements can be made. The range of issues incurred in during construction activities have a common nature but a universal solution cannot be provided for all. The goal behind using robotics is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. That is precisely what the book will be identifying. As it is defined in this book, construction robots are self-directed floating devices that have the ability of repairing or constructing the building structures. The book will offer very clear insights on the procedures that can be worked upon for advancement which will eventually drive the industry’s productivity. The subject matter of this books starts from establishing a clear picture of development of affordable, leading-edge robotics and automation equipment for the construction industry. The education of this approach will contribute to widen the understanding on improving overall productivity, defining the criteria’s and ways to imbibe innovation. This would be supported real-life case studies. Next focus would be the principle of safety and the significance of managing this sector. This section would be also present existing areas of improvement and challenges included under the various segments aimed at improving the utilization of automation. Towards the end, comprehensive detail of the existing challenges would be covered."--Back cover
