More and more high-rise buildings are being erected in extensively populated countries such as China nowadays with the requirement of higher living standards. However, on the one hand, with the development of aging society, the labor shortage has become a remarkable problem; on the other hand, the danger and difficulties in construction increase significantly with the height of the buildings. Thus, the application of automation and robotics technology is expected to ease such problems and concerns. Up to now, various methods and systems using automation and robotics technology have been proposed to be used in high-rise building construction. This paper summarizes the major advance on the application of automation and robotics technology in high-rise building construction through a literature survey and suggests directions of further research in this field. First of all, the research scope, the method and the results of the literature survey are presented. Then, based on the survey results, the relevant applications are summarized regarding the three parts of high-rise buildings, i.e., earth and foundation work, superstructure erection and faç ade installation. Finally, the future directions and opportunities mentioned in existing research are summarized and discussed. This paper provides a valuable aid in future research and application of automation and robotics technology for high-rise buildings.

“…The main purpose of the bolting robot is to attach the steel beam to the column with bolts. The bolting robot utilizes a camera and a computer vision method to detect bolt holes (Mo et al 2014), once detected, the robotic bolting device will install the steel bolts (Chu et al 2013). …”

This research focuses on a long-standing, yet critical problem in the erection of steel structures. In the current state of practice, steel workers must stand on an unfinished structure to assist with the assembly of structural elements manually. They must pull on the wire hanging under the rigging elements to align the bolting holes of the moving and fixed elements. This work is often performed in high places, which can be very risky. Therefore, we have developed a robotic assembly system (RAS) for steel beam erection and assembly to prevent workers from having to work in a high place. The RAS consists of four methods: rotation, alignment, bolting, and unloading. The rotation method involves a flywheel installed on top of the rigging beam, which aims to rotate the beam to the assembly angle. The alignment method includes both vertical and horizontal alignment. The vertical alignment relies on a camera and a marker on the column to align the beam altitude. The horizontal alignment relies on a specially-designed beam, which allows for it to be smoothly guided into the right position. The bolting method is used to connect the beam to a fixed element. We designed an additional guide hole above each bolt hole. The bolt can be inserted in the guide hole and slid to the bolt hole. The unloading method is used to unload the crane cable and the RAS. We use a pin mechanism for the beam-hook connection so it can easily be unplugged by a motor. The system is built in a scaled experimental construction site to validate its feasibility. The results show that the RAS can operate the assembly process without humans working at risky heights, and can complete faster than the traditional method. In conclusion, we have developed a robotics assembly system that can help reduce the frequency of accidental falls during the steel beam assembly process. The RAS adheres to the process of the current erection method and can be broadly introduced to existing construction sites.
