Robotics in Construction


Description

This course syllabus is intended to suit grad students’ skills set requirement in the area of robotics in construction systems design, on-site and off-site construction activities simulation and optimization, application-based and user-centric selection of robotic technologies, feasibility and constructability review, robot motion planning and programming, trajectory planning and clash detection in construction settings.
This course covers the basic knowledge of controlling robots, including kinematics, trajectory generation, and offline programming. It also includes a series of hands-on practical workshops simulated in a construction environment. Students will have the opportunity to program an industrial robot arm to complete various construction activities in a scaled testing environment. A final project will be assigned where students are expected to simulate a construction process using the learned knowledge and skills.
