•The use or the introduction of automatic equipments or other process or facilities in construction is called as Automation in construction Industry •Key researchers and theorists in the field of robotics say automated machines are about to migrate from factories and manufacturing facilities to building and construction sites as a result of rapid technological advances which enable them to perform increasingly complex tasks.
Introduction
ECONOMICSThe impact of automation in construction industry on
•2nd largest employer and contributor to the economic activity•10% of India’s GDP is based on the construction activity•50% of demand for construction activity in India comes from infrastructure sector, the rest comes from industrial, residential and other construction activities
Construction industry is…
•The projects like “MAKE IN INDIA” and “SMART CITIES” are an asset for the economic growth of India through infrastructural projects
•Under the Make in India scheme, it is expected that $1000 Billion investments for infrastructure sector would be accomplished in the next few years. •Present levels of urban infrastructure are inadequate to meet the demands of the existing urban population. •Future cities of India will require smart real estate and urban infrastructure.
•USD 650 Billion investments in urban infrastructure estimated over next 20 years.•100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route for urban infrastructure areas like urban transport, water supply, sewerage and sewage treatment •The Government of India in the Union Budget 2014-15, has announced a project to develop ‘One Hundred Smart Cities’ and INR 70.6 Billion has been allocated in the current fiscal year for the same.
AUTOMATION IN CONSTRUCTIONThe present scenario of
• Today the construction industry is one of the most unpracticed fields in terms of automation.
• The importance of construction automation has grown rapidly in developed countries.
• In developing countries like India, the construction industries need automation technologies such as new machineries, electronic devices , the automation of road, tunnel, and bridge construction; earthwork, etc.
• The recent developments in the fields of computer science and robotics have helped to develop new technologies in the field of construction industry.
Areas of automation in Construction
•Roads & Runways construction •Structures •Buildings construction •Ports •Tunnels•Factories and industries

Advantages of automation in construction
• Uniform quality with higher accuracy than that provided by skilled workers.
• Replacing human operators in tasks that involve hard physical or monotonous work.
• Replacing humans in tasks performed in dangerous environments
• Increasing productivity and work efficiency with reduced costs.
• Economic improvement• Improving work environment
HADRIAN Brick-laying robot can build a full-sized house in two days
•The fully-automated machine can erect the brick frame of a house in merely two days. •"Hadrian" the robot can work 24 hours a day, every day of the year, compared with the lengthy process of building a home with human capabilities, which could take weeks. •Developed by Fastbrick Robotics, it is able to lay 1000 bricks an hour with potential to raise 150 dwellings a year.
•From the 3D computer-aided design (CAD) of a house structure, the machine will be directed to load, cut, route and place the bricks in sequence using a 28-metre telescopic boom. •It is also versatile, being able to work on a range of block sizes, including multi-unit developments.
TELESCOPIC BELT
A telebelt also called as telescopic belt machine handles 0 to 300mm concrete slump and places materials from sand to rock with 100mm aggregate size.
• Telebelt is the best solution for large construction sites where long reach and high volume placing is required such as dams, foundation and footings, bridge decks, tilt and outdoor slabs, mats pours etc.
• A telebelt comprises of five section telescopic boom – base steel section and four telescopic high strength yet lightweight aluminum sections. Telescoping boom reduces problems with obstacles and saves labor and time.
The use of telebelt has the following advantages:•Versatile placement:Easily and quickly clears obstacles, Ideal for mat pours, backfilling, tilt-up projects, bridge decks, and slab work.•Saves time and labor: Performs multiple tasks from one location, Quick setup and teardown, Places material at high volumes with less manpower and handling machinery.

Conclusion
• The importance of implementing automation technologies is the need of today’s infrastructure project and construction firms in order to increase the productivity and good quality of work.
• Since India has second largest man - power in the world, automation is not replacements of the human-power but is an important supplement that caters to the need of mega-construction and fast-track construction.
Conclusion (contd.)
• The problems associated with construction work such as decreasing quality of work, labor shortages, and safety of labor and working condition of projects can be overcome by new innovative technologies such as automation which has the potential to improve the quality, safety, and productivity of the construction industry.
• Today, it is evident that the level of automation in construction is very low in comparison with current technological advances. That is why we must make new efforts to increase the automation level of this important sector.
Conclusion (contd.)
• It is necessary economic efforts from the private industry and government to provide funds and resources for research and development of robots technology.
