Contribution Of Advanced Technology: Automated Data Collection In Resource Management

The construction industries are labour intensive, project based and slow to adopt emerging technologies. Construction industries is not only one of the most dangerous worldwide, but also prone to low productiv- ity and cost over runs due to shortages of skilled labour , unexpected site conditions ,design changes, communication problems, and unsuitability of construction means and techniques. Construction automation is emerged to overcome these problems. Con- struction automation has the potential to capitalize on increasing quality expectations from customers, tighter safety regulations, and greater attention to computerized project control. Now a day, many construction operations have incorporated automated equipment, methods into their regular practices. In this paper, provides an overview of construction automation and focus on the contribution in construction from robotics.
