The Tenth International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction ISARC

Houston, TX, USA, May 24-26, 1993

Purpose The purpose of the Symposium is to exchange information on the state of the art and future direction of construction automation. The motivation for construction automation will be re-examined in a series of opening day sessions involving panel discussions and talks by world-renowned researchers in construction automation to answer the following questions: Why automate?; Where are we now?; and, Where are we going? The remaining sessions will focus on two themes: (a) enabling technologies for construction automation and robotics, and (b) field applications and pertinent studies.

- Automatic Locating Graphical Simulation - Economic Evaluation and Opportunity Identification - Intelligent and Autonomous Controls Systems - End Effector Design Multi-Functional Systems - Obstacle and Collision Avoidance - Ergonomics - Social Issues Integration in Design and Simulation - Quality and Productivity Evaluation -
