Abstract Construction automation based on information and communication technology(ICT) has been studied for improving productivity in the construction industry. This study investigates domestic research trends in ICT-based construction automation using text mining techniques. The results show that 'Technology to collect and analyze project progress(26%)' and 'Technology to analyze and apply the automation element of construction machinery(28%)' are the major research area. The word of 'construction information' is showed as important keywords in the area of 'Technology to collect and analyze project progress', and researches focusing on resource management, site management, information management, and real-time information monitoring have been mainly conducted. The word of 'ubiquitous' is shown as important keywords in the area of 'Technology to analyze and apply the automation element of construction machinery', and researches focusing on ubiquitous information management, ubiquitous site management, and measurement system have been mainly conducted.
