Abstract
Advanced robotics systems have been around for a while now. There have been many opportunities for them to be widely utilized in the contemporary building and infrastructure construction sectors. Several applications, such as advanced construction machinery, sensorsupported construction environments, and automatic planning and optimization are being developed and investigated by researchers around the world. At the same time, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming a dominant management approach in the field of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC). BIM contains necessary information and well-organized data schema enabling personnel to retrieve sufficient information at the right time and in the right place. In order to use BIM for handling uncertainties on the construction site, integration with advanced robotics systems is necessary for cutting out rework and waste during construction.

Advanced robotics systems have been around for a while
As a preliminary stage of integration of such systems, the research in this special issue is intended to give readers a flavour of how Building Information Modelling (BIM) is influencing state-of-the-art buildings and infrastructure, and help inspire potential ideas and opportunities about how advanced robotics systems can be integrated with BIM
Summary
A considerable amount of the research here focuses on how to quantify the benefits of BIM, presenting successful construction cases to demonstrate the usefulness of using BIM. In this special issue, Li et al (2014a) identify the benefits of the dynamic query and statistical analysis of construction schedules, engineering, resources and costs. Their second contribution (Li et al, 2014b) shows five successful cases in Asia of large-scale public and financial projects that have adopted BIM in the design, construction and operation phases. These works all suggest that BIM can be an appropriate approach to improve the productivity of current construction
