Abstract: Robot-assisted assembly has shown great potential in modular construction for the future. However, as the complexity of prefabricated structural modules increases, the likelihood of unexpected robotic collisions also rises, ...

Abstract: The advancement in sensors, robotics, and artificial intelligence has enabled a series of methods such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), semantic segmentation, and point cloud registration to help with the ...

Abstract: Robot teleoperation, a control method allowing human operators to manipulate robotic systems remotely, has become increasingly popular in construction applications. A significant challenge is the disconnection between the ...

Abstract: Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a widely used subsea vehicle in offshore oil and gas industries to assist in the development and inspection of offshore oil fields, given its agility, safety, and endurance. As the offshore ...

Abstract: Disorientation has been identified as one of the leading causes of firefighter injuries and fatalities. In search and rescue tasks, firefighters have to build up a general understanding of an unfamiliar space with limited ...

Abstract: Human–robot collaboration (HRC) has gained significant momentum in various civil engineering applications. A representative application is robot-assisted emergency structural inspection, i.e., a human–robot partnered ...
