Industrialized Construction in the Age of AI and RoboticsEdizione 1

Industrialized Construction in the Age of AI and Robotics explores the transformative convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and modern construction methods. This comprehensive textbook reveals how cutting-edge technologies are reshaping the construction industry, offering unprecedented improvements in efficiency, quality, and sustainability.

From fundamental concepts to practical applications, the book is divided into three sections. Part One establishes the foundational principles of industrialized construction and introduces the revolutionary potential of AI and robotics. Part Two delves deep into six critical operational areas: AI-driven design systems, agile production processes, intelligent supply chain management, automated on-site assembly, predictive maintenance, and smart work packaging. The final section examines current challenges, from technical and financial constraints to regulatory considerations, before exploring emerging trends and future innovations. Each chapter features detailed case studies and practical examples that bridge theory and real-world implementation.

Written for a diverse audience, this essential resource serves as both an academic textbook and a professional reference. Students in Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management, and AI & Robotics programs will find it invaluable for understanding the intersection of these disciplines. Industry practitioners, including construction managers, project engineers, and technology integrators, will gain practical insights into implementing AI and robotics solutions. Whether you’re preparing for a career in modern construction, leading technological transformation in your organization, or conducting advanced research in the field, this book provides the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in construction’s AI-driven future.
