Research activities in the field of robotics and automation in the construction industry are divided according to applications into two large groups: civil infrastructure and house building. Typical civil infrastructure applications are the automation of road, tunnel, and bridge construction; earthwork; etc. In the field of house construction, main applications include building skeleton erection and assembly, concrete compaction, interior finishing process, etc. Classification according to applications is consistent with other possible classifications, which divide R&D activities according to the development of new equipment and processes (robots, automatic systems, etc.) or the adaptation of existing machinery to transform them into robotic systems.
