| Abstract |
The exterior painting work of apartment houses is conducted every 5 years during the buildings life cycle. It has been investigated that the construction industry has shown increase in size and volume that the potential market of the painting work is also expected to increase. The labor participating in the work is hanged to a fixed rope which sometimes lead to crash accidents. Numerous researches all over the world have been conducted in order to develop an automated technology to suggest solutions for this problem. However, it has been analyzed that the previous studies are not appropriate to be implemented in the domestic apartment houses. Thus, general and technical consideration demanded have been deducted by analyzing the properties of apartment houses. Moreover, a survey has been conducted in order to analyze the technical feasibility and actual site application. It is expected that the development of automated exterior wall painting robot overcomes suggests solutions to current problems such as labor aging and accidents which has a direct impact on productivity, quality and safety. |
