Course Code CE3302 Course Title Construction materials and technology

Title Advanced Techniques Using Robotic Machines

Develop the ability of robotic machines to adapt to
Objectives different tasks and environments autonomously.

Learners will develop a mindset for continuous

Outcomes improvement and innovation in robotic technology.

Advanced Techniques Using Robotic Machines

Advanced techniques using robotic machines in construction are transforming the
industry, offering efficiency, precision, and safety improvements.
Here are some specific techniques and their benefits:
1. Robotic 3D Printing: Utilizing large-scale robotic arms or gantry systems to 3D print
structures directly from digital designs. Benefits include rapid construction, reduced
material waste, and the ability to create complex geometries that traditional methods
struggle with.
2. Automated Bricklaying: Robots capable of laying bricks or blocks autonomously based
on pre-programmed designs. This technique improves speed, accuracy in alignment, and
reduces physical strain on human workers.
3. Autonomous Excavation: Robotic excavators equipped with sensors and automated
controls for digging, grading, and moving materials on construction sites. This enhances
safety by reducing the need for human operators in hazardous environments.
 4. Prefabrication and Modular Construction: Robots are used to assemble prefabricated
components off-site, such as walls, floors, or entire modules, which are then transported
and assembled on-site. This technique accelerates construction timelines and improves
quality control.
5. Drone-Assisted Surveying and Monitoring: Drones equipped with cameras and LiDAR
technology provide aerial surveys of construction sites, enabling accurate mapping,
progress monitoring, and quality assurance checks. This data aids in project management
and decision-making.
6. Robotic Demolition: Robots designed for controlled demolition of structures, reducing
the risk of accidents and minimizing debris. They can selectively dismantle parts of
buildings while preserving materials for recycling.
7. Augmented Reality (AR) for Construction: AR technology integrated with robotic
systems allows workers to visualize building plans and instructions overlaid onto the
physical environment. This improves accuracy during assembly and maintenance tasks.
8. Robotics for Building Maintenance: Robots designed for inspecting, cleaning, and
maintaining building exteriors, such as window washing or facade maintenance. These
robots enhance safety by performing tasks at heights or in difficult-to-access areas.
9. Smart Construction Equipment: Integration of IOT sensors and AI algorithms into
construction machinery, enabling predictive maintenance, optimized equipment
utilization, and real-time performance monitoring.
10. Robotic Welding and Assembly: Automated systems for welding structural components
or assembling parts on-site. These robots improve weld quality, consistency, and
productivity while reducing labour costs and cycle times.
These advanced techniques not only improve efficiency and productivity but also address
safety concerns and labour shortages in the construction industry. By embracing robotics and
automation, construction companies can achieve faster project delivery, higher quality outcomes,
and increased sustainability.
