Abstract

The effective utilization of automation is among the biggest opportunities, plus one of the best difficulties, dealing with the construction industry. The major the different parts of an automation method, as considered in this report, tend to be computer-aided manufacturing and design (CAE/CAD), computerized information bases, comments of as-built data, automated products handling, synthetic cleverness, and robotics. This paper initially defines the current cutting-edge of robotics in building as well as artificial intelligence in its future role while the assistance device in robots and its existing stand-alone role in the shape of expert systems. Then it talks about the central part associated with the computerized task information base inside integration of task design, construction, and operation. Also, the paper examines the advantages from the increased using I . t and automation in construction, the institutional barriers into the development and introduction of the technology because of the U.S. building industry, therefore the technologies that have to be developed being apply successfully computer system technology in building.
