Advanced Construction and Building Technology for Society

Proceedings of the CIB W119 CIC 2012 Workshop. Industrialization in Construction will become more customer oriented. Systems for adaptable manufacturing and robot technologies will merge the best aspects of industrialization and automation with aspects of traditional manufacturing.

Concepts of mass customization can be implemented via the application of robots in construction and building project/product life cycle as prefabrication processes, on site and in service as socio technical systems.

Scope

Topics include, but are not limited to the following aspects of Automation and Robotics in Construction

• Industrialized Customization in Architecture
  Mass Customization off site, Factory Production, Logistics and Factory Networks, Production

• Logistics/ Site Automation and Robotics
  Mass Customization on site, Site Automation, Site Robotics, Site Logistics for Automation, Systems and Technologies, Automation and Robot oriented Site Management

• Service Science through Automation and Robotics
  Mass Customization of performance oriented environments, Automation and Robotic Assisted Living, Service Robotics, Personal Assistance, Demographic change design and management of socio technical systems by human ambient technologies in daily life especially for aging society.

• Automation and Robot Oriented Design 
  Design and Buildings Structures Enabling efficient use of Automation and Robotics, Modularization, Product Structure, Building Information Modelling

• Automation and Robotics Deployment Strategies
  Innovative business processes, automation and robot oriented management, humanmachine communication, socio technical aspects, socioeconomic aspects, history of automation and robotics
