Applications of Digital Twins and Robotics in the Construction Sector

This book provides insights to the lay person as well as the experts who are actively enabling these changes in the construction industry. The book explores digital twins and robots in the construction sector, and how they are revolutionizing this field. It comprises chapters that begin with the basics before going upstream. Digital Twins are important in the planning and design of projects where, real-time simulation, visualization and data-driven decision-making are done. Furthermore, robotics play a significant role in on-site execution, thus automating construction operations, and guaranteeing accuracy and safety. The book discusses the harmony of digital twinning and robotics, showing that these two are complementary with regard to enhancing efficiencies on-site, in monitoring progress and live control. Applications of Digital Twins and Robotics in the Construction Sector covers the current applications of these technologies and forecasts future applications, exposing readers to breakthrough innovations transforming this field. It aims inform all readers, expert or simply interested and inquisitive about digital twins and construction robots’ transformation.
