The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for off-site as well as on-site building production. Site Automation extends the new technology of robotics in building-component manufacturing and construction introduced in earlier volumes to on-site structured environments and on-site automated factories. This volume explores 30 different worldwide systems within a careful analytical framework in which the best conceptual features are extracted in order to help professionals and researchers develop new applications. The analytical approach splits the systems studies into a technical portion and a portion that focuses on parameters related to productivity, efficiency, and economic performance. A benefit of automated on-site factories is the integration of several stand-alone, single-task construction robots into structured on-site environments with networked machine systems to show improvements in on-site organization, integration, and material flow.

Über Autor(innen)

Linner, Thomas
Thomas Linner is a research associate in building realization and robotics at Technische Universität München (TUM). During the last few years, he has supervised some major research projects, with a focus on the deployment of advanced technology in the building sector. He is a specialist in the area of automated production of building products as well as in the enhancement of the performance of building products by advanced technology. He completed his dissertation in the field of construction automation, focusing on automated/robotic on-site factories. Increasingly, the generation of innovation strategies, business models, value systems, and innovative manufacturing organization methods complementary with advanced technology in construction is becoming the central issue in his research. Linner has been an invited speaker at universities such as the University of Tokyo and the University of Cambridge. He has received several prizes and grants, including a Japanese Center of Excellence Grant for research in Japan.

Bock, Thomas
Thomas Bock is a professor in building realization and robotics at Technische Universität München (TUM). His research focuses on automation and robotics in building construction, from planning building production and utilization to reorganization and deconstruction. After his academic studies in architecture at the University of Stuttgart and the Illinois Institute of Technology, he completed his doctorate at the University of Tokyo. He is on the board of directors of the International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), the Asian Habitat Society in Peking, and the International Institute of Construction Information in Tokyo. He operates as a consultant at Ministère de l'Emploi de la Cohésion Sociale et du Logement in France and is a member of the Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, the Petrovich Academy of Sciences, and the Academy of Informatics. Professor Bock is on the editorial boards of several journals such as Robotica, Automation in Construction, and the International Journal of Construction Management. Recently he became coordinator of Customized Industrial Construction's newly founded W119.
