The analysis of factors influencing on efficiency of applying mobile bricklaying robots and tools for such analysis

Abstract

Abstract Automation and using robotic means allows increasing industry efficiency, including construction. At the same time, important factors of applying such means are profitability and adaptability. The paper considers the basic parameters influencing the economic and technological efficiency of applying mobile bricklaying robots. The main aspects for comparing manual and automated labor are showed based on the acting standards and technical features of operation of such robots. It is offered to use a coefficient showing the ratio of brickwork volumes for bearing walls and for partitions of a constructed object for evaluation of efficiency of applying a bricklaying robot. As most buildings differ from each other, the modeling software for automated evaluation economic and technological parameters of construction is offered. Such software will include a model of operation of a bricklaying robot and will evaluate efficiency of different combinations of manual and automated labor during bricklaying.
