Project Description and Objectives:
The total output value of the construction industry accounts for 5.7% of the global GDP. However, the productivity of the construction industry has been declining in the past 30 years. Automated construction systems provide a modern and efficient way to build the high-rise buildings in the urban city. The favorite benefits of this type of system can offer include significant reduction in wastes, improved safety at sites, and a more controllable quality of construction projects. This project aims to develop a virtual control system for the automated construction equipment by utilizing the digital innovations (including BIM, 3D laser scanning, and multi-sensor technology). The system should be capable of updating the building information model on a real-time basis by using 3D laser scanning and the robotic survey technology. It should also provide a synchronized monitoring system for equipment during operation by using multi-sensor technology.
