About the Book

Recent accomplishments and visions for the future in the practical applications of construction robots and automated systems are reviewed in the 71 papers in this volume. The experience of specialists is brought together on a wide range of activities that employ common analytical and experimental methods in their estimation of automated construction planning. The results of the meeting should be of interest worldwide, and are intended to help stimulate future research and analysis in this field.
