Construction Robot Task Sync for Automated BIM Progress Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual recording of construction progress in Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems for construction tasks increases processing effort, reducing the benefits of using these systems.
Innovation Solution
A construction robot system equipped with an internal construction task management system and a communication interface to automatically update an external task management system with construction task status and progress, allowing for documented task performance without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual recording of construction progress is performed in BIM systems, then construction tasks can be documented, but processing effort increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The construction robot automatically documents its own construction progress by sending task status information from its internal construction task management system to the external BIM system, eliminating the need for manual documentation and significantly reducing processing effort while maintaining reliable documentation
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of recording construction progress is replaced by an automated electronic communication system where the robot's communication interface transmits task status data to the BIM system, substituting human labor with automated information exchange
2Ease of operation
If manual selection and recording of construction tasks is performed by different persons, then construction tasks can be assigned and tracked, but additional processing effort is created
Solution Approach 1:
The construction robot autonomously manages its own construction tasks through an internal construction task management system that stores and tracks task status information, eliminating the need for manual task selection and recording by multiple persons while maintaining ease of operation
