Abstract

The Construction Robotic Equipment Management System (CREMS) prototype presented in this paper has been applied to the evaluation of performance of ten diverse construction robots. individual task characteristics along with the robot physical parameters have been analyzed in arriving at appropriate effectiveness and productivity parameters. The wall inspection, clean room inspection and concrete placement tasks were analyzed using a uniform analysis procedure. The number of erected units has been the primary focus of beam and column erection evaluation. Consistency and relative density were considered as parameters associated with productivity of a robotic excavation control system. Underground utilities encountered during excavation imposed limits on the speed of progress and interruptions along the delivery path of concrete distribution. These are regarded as major project-specific constraints for these tasks. An example application of CREMS to robotic excavation has been provided.
