(a) (b) (c) (d) Fig.24. <strong>Construction</strong> sequence First the columns and beams are erected in a conventional way. Then the structural members (rails) with dual function are installed to run the robot. These rails are permanent structural members to the building. Panels are produced in 3typo-dimensions: 1- 3.25 x 4.25 x 6 (m) 2- 2.05 x 3.25 x 6 (m) 3- 1.10 x 2.05 x 6 (m) These panels can be installed as a standardized module in the building. Fig.25.

Fig.29. Robot arm fixing the panels The panels are designed with grooves at the required location to act as malfunction. So that those can easily be placed at right position, and make it easy for robot arm to screw it. The robots can be moved from one floor to another after the completion of each floor through a vertical mast attached with the structural members of the building. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The proposed robot will provide the fast on-site logistics and higher mobility in elements transport and handling. Same like rail road construction; it will establish a new paradigm of horizontal construction with better usage in congested areas where tower cranes are not possible. There is a need to standardize the prefabricated building elements and robot oriented design to maximize the use of robot to make it economical. It still has room for improvement, but at this stage, its prototype can be developed to make it a part of an automated construction system. Japan is already having demographic change issues, and has started using automated construction sites from last two decades. A dramatic change in this regard is anticipated especially in developing countries. All this situation predict the more use of pervasive technologies and robotics in construction. References 1.
