Building System Design for Development of Automated Interior Finishing System – WASCOR IV Research Project Report (Part II)

For the development of automated building construction system with robots, the WASCOR (WASeda COnstruction Robot ) research project has been organized since 1982 by the System Science Institute , Waseda University . The WASCOR IV project started in 1992 . The research theme of the WASCOR IV project is to develop automated construction systems for interior finishing work. This research theme consists of the three sub-themes : 1) development of new building systems and construction methods which increase the consructability of construction robots , 2) design of the hardware of the system , and 3 ) design of the computer-assisted system for information management and machinery control . Concerning the first sub-theme , this paper discusses methodology for the building system design of automated interior finishing work system. And a schematic plan for the model building is also described , which is presented in accordance with a building system and construction methods .
