Summer School: "Robotization of Mobile Construction Machinery"
Motivation:
With a nominal construction volume of almost 400 billion euros and approximately two million employees in Germany, the construction industry is of central importance to the local economy, and the situation is similar in many countries. The still predominant analog character of construction site work, management and organization leads to a high proportion of manual labor. This goes hand in hand with a high risk of accidents, high physical stress, long working hours and thus results in an unattractive field of work and a shortage of skilled workers. Rarely are construction projects completed on time and on budget as a result, which is also due to inefficiency and a low level of digitalization in the construction industry. Remedies include more flexible processes and modern automation solutions, with which the construction industry needs to be upgraded. The use of modern production methods and robotics has enabled industries such as automotive to achieve steady productivity growth. These advances in digitization, connectivity and automation must be transferred to the construction site.
