BIM-Driven Unmanned Ground Vehicle Swarm System for Geometric and Visual Data Collection

Abstract

AbstractUnmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have emerged for construction site geometric and visual data collection, which has traditionally been resource-intensive and hazardous. The use of multiple small UGVs can overcome single large UGV challenges such as ...Practical ApplicationsThis study introduces a building information modeling (BIM)-driven unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) swarm system to automatically collect geometric and visual data on construction sites. UGVs are particularly useful in indoor ...
