ADVANCED ROBOTICS MECHATRONICS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN CONSTRUCTION AUTOMATION

摘要

The keynote provides the sate-of-the-art Japanese R&D in robotics and mechatronics closely related to the construction automation. There are three major domestic robot conferences in Japan. Judging from the number of papers and participants the generic robotic research and development is still very active. Even though the construction industry has been confronting to the severe economic situation, we are trying to keep our R&D activities in the construction automation. First, generic robotics technologies are surveyed from some Japanese domestic conferences, and new application topics are introduced showing some examples in the construction automation.
