Intelligent Construction Technology Laboratory
New technologies are emerging to automate construction and maintenance processes. The ever-increasing labor turnover rate, safety concerns, and competition in today's domestic and international construction markets made the emergence of new technologies inevitable. New construction technologies include both soft and hard automation. Soft automation refers to the use of information technology while hard automation refers to the use of automation equipment and robots.
They are often combined together to achieve a specific goal. The core foundations of emerging construction technologies are general computing/information technology, CAD/CAE, sensing and robotics. The laboratory is currently concentrating on researching the latest technologies in the field of engineering automation to create new and better solutions for the construction sector.
The Intelligent Construction Technology Lab also seeks better solutions for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure systems and other construction facilities in the context of life cycle systems. The technologies for infrastructure systems are closely linked from the initial planning stage to operation. To develop a sustainable infrastructure system, a vast amount of data/information must be well shared. Current information technology and automation technologies can harmoniously integrate infrastructure system design, construction, and operation.
The laboratory's focus areas are design/construction integration, construction/maintenance/operations automation, innovative sensing and information technologies for infrastructure monitoring and maintenance, CAD and virtual reality systems, and construction risk analysis. The Institute pursues cutting-edge research and development in the field of construction and civil infrastructure systems while maintaining close ties with industry.
