Applying the Automated and Robotic Means for Increasing Effectiveness of Construction Projects

Abstract

The paper considers increasing effectiveness of construction of bricks and blocks by applying mobile masonry robots. On the example of a specific object, the rates for its construction using manual labor and robotic means are considered. The results show that applying robotic means allows reduce costs for bricklaying 3-7 times in comparison with manual labor depending on method of accruing salaries. Other positive effects of using bricklaying automation, such as reducing construction time, increasing the quality of the result and simplification of staff management, are considered.
