Abstract |
Recently, the trend in architectural forms has been toward larger and taller building. The building materials, therefore, are getting larger and heavier as well. Typical construction machineries are, however, not adequate for handling these materials and most of the construction works have been still managed by a human operator. Construction processes are, therefore, fraught with a number of problems, including frequent accidents, high construction cost and heterogeneous construction quality; which is depended on the experience of the worker. In a bid to address this issue, Hanyang University & SAMSUNG launched a industry-university cooperation project in 2003 entitled Development of Construction Material Installation Robot. The aim of the project is to use human-robot cooperation and robotics technology to minimize inefficiencies and eliminate the dangerous and unpleasant aspects of the construction process through the development of specific applications such as RT-equipped construction machinery and automated construction methods. In this paper, HUSCOR (Hanyang University & Samsung COnstruction Robot) introduces on the research and development content related to Six Sigma. |
