Organisational implications of robotics and automation in construction supply chains
Over the next 20 years around 50% of construction work could be automated using new and emerging technologies to support advancing automation in the construction sector. Read more
From Newton to ML: efficient ways to combine physical modelling and machine learning for high performance automation
Classical automation is based on physical models. However, it is not always possible to have an accurate physical model of the system that will be automated. Read more
The intersection between industrialised construction, digitilisation and automation: evaluating successes, failures, and everything in between
Industrialised Construction (IC) or Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) have emerged to help meet the rising need for housing, particularly for affordable housing. Read more
