In collaboration with Irving Oppenheim, Stephen Lee, and Rudi Stouffs The work was funded by the Japan Research Institute. objective Was to evaluate the feasibility and productivity of robot agents in construction. We specified a general representation for robots in building construction that uniformly characterizes a wide variety of automated agents, using motion rules as a means of establishing the configuration of an agent at any given time. We developed a motion language to describe the behavior of automated agents in a dynamically changing environment and in cooperation with human labor crews. We implemented a rule based simulation program for robot assisted assembly of panelized constructions with particular reference to rule–based checking and generation of robot paths for the avoidance of spatial interference.
